Full review
I first saw this product in the advert with the cute kid, trying his hardest to destroy the camera, even using the camera as a dog toy! I thought this is perfect for me as I do a lot of hiking and canoeing and I have a graveyard of digital cameras that have broken on my trips!

Ok, to the actual product now, being a student with no fixed income, I initially thought the cost was a little on the highside. Then as in the past when you get a gadget that is meant to be "durable" the quality of what is supposed to do is compromised. However with the Olympus, this compromise does not occur, durablity and quality are assured and this justifies the cost. For you people who love your bright colours this camera comes in a wide range of colours, from yellow to blue or pink.

There are a few disadvantages, firstly the integrated memory is tiny, so you need to get an SD card, i'd choose the 2gb card as it means you can shoot more videos without worrying about running out of space. Another issue, that I did not personally have but when my dad tried the camera, he kept putting his finger slightly over the lense, this is because the lense is in the top left and he has bigger hands!

All in all this product is cool, sleek and durable and i'd recommend it to anyone from clumsy to climber!
