"Don't get this camera!"
I have used Canon small cameras (ELPHS and SureShots) extensively for at least 15 years, for thousands of vacation and family photos under all sorts of conditions. Because I am always dropping cameras and cell phones, I decided to try the "unbreakable" Olympus 850SW. Well, I might not drop it; I might THROW it at something after trying to use it for two months. (1) The battery life is nonexistent. I hardly ever had to charge any of my Canons; they would run for two days of constant shooting on vacation, for example. This Olympus battery dies in a half-hour. (2) The storage card is, as many have pointed out, uncommon. It turns out to really annoy me to have to carry an extra cable, etc. (3) Despite its 20+ special settings, I couldn't get a single decent picture at an indoor fashion show, not with any setting, not in regular auto mode--nothing. Again, in comparison to the long list of Canons I've had, this is pathetic. I never had to worry about focus with a Canon. This camera looks cool and may be indestructible; it's just not a good CAMERA.

"The best camera ever!"
My parents gave me this camera for my birthday and I love it! The photos and the screen are so clear.

"Mom-Cam"
We needed a waterproof camera for a family vacation. I got amazing shots underwater. I got great shots out of water, too. I am a terrible picture-taker...but this camera seems to compensate for my photographic ineptitude.

Definitely glad we got a bright color; silver or blue would be easy to lose at the bottom of a pool or on a beach.

"simply what I expected"
I had an 4.0 mp stylus verve. It was the most perfect camera I had have.Now the stylus 850 is giving me the same satisfaction the old verve gave me. Plus all the new technology what it comes with.

"I love this camera"
I love this cameara. I have always wanted a yellow camera and it has really really amamzing features. I love the fact that it is waterproof and shockprrof. I just love this thing so much
