What our customer's say!

"Best Camera Ever!!", I've always wanted a digital camera and one day I went to the beach with a friend. she had this cute little camera that i thought was amazing already. we went in the water and I noticed she still had the camera so I yelled "O my God your camera"...she then informed me it is waterproof. So after finding that out, I was hooked. The icing on the cake was finding out it comes in pink!!! I LOVE this camera!!!!!!!!!

"Olympus 850SW", Terrific camera -- fast, great exposures, sharp macro shots. Movies cut off after about 10 seconds, and sound is weak, but otherwise extremely competent, once you figure out all of its capabilities and how to use them.

"Not Idiot Proof!", I bought this camera on August 30, 2008. I bought it from [...] with the 2GB memory card only because I could use my Best Buy credit card for the purchase. The entire reason I wanted this new camera was my old camera was 8 years old (Also an Olympus) and it was just time for a new one. I wanted it in September because I would be going to a few New Kids on the Block concerts (Don't knock 20 year love!) and really wanted a good camera I could take to the shows to take photos and video.

I received the camera on September 4, 2008. The color is BEAUTIFUL. The camera was so light. It was fantastic. So I took the battery out and I took the camera out and I went to put the battery in.

Mind you, I did not look at the directions because who really needs to look at the directions to put in a battery!?

So I try to put the battery in, it wouldn't fit. So I turn it around. Still won't fit. So I turn it another way and the battery slides right in.

I close the door, but the battery door won't close. Hrm. maybe I put the battery in wrong? Wait? Why won't the battery come out!?

I get out the directions and lo and behold there's a big X indicating how NOT to put the battery in and a little note that says "If you put the battery in the wrong way, you will not be able to get it out".

I had my camera for 5 minutes and I had to send it immediately to the shop to get it fixed. I had to spend my own money to ship it UPS (about $10) on September 5th but fortunately it was covered under warranty and I got it back on September 17th.

Maybe I am the only person out there who would figure that if a battery slides in easily, it means it's the right way... and figures that batteries won't fit in the wrong way. But I think the fact that, if you put a battery in WRONG and it won't come back out unless you send it to the shop, is absolutely ridiculous.

Aside from that, I have had no issues with the camera. Except the battery does say it's low when it's really nowhere near being low.

Basically, I'm just giving you a fair warning that if you're an idiot like me, make sure you put the battery in the right way :)

"Olympus 850SW This is a AWESOME CAMERA", I purchased the Olympus 850SW on 8-25-08 for my trip to Sea World. I was impressed how easy this camera is to operate. This is one of the best camera I have ever had. The pictures come out very sharp and clean. I just the anti-shake option for all my pics, and everything came out clear. Shamu came out very clear as he was jumping thru the air. I love the large viewer display it was easy to see what I was taking a picture of. Even in bright light!!!!I love the fact it shock proof, water proof. so you don't have to worry about any of that kind of stuff. Even tranfering the pictures from the camera to my pc was a breeze. I highly recommend getting this camera you will not be dissappointed.

"Olympus Came Through", It worked great. Then it stopped working. I sent it in to Olympus for repair, they fixed it no questions asked, and returned in 2 weeks. Just a receipt from Target was needed. They even replaced screen because of scratch that wasn't under warranty.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Everything I hoped it would be", WATERPROOF - Felt funny putting it underwater the first time, but I was truly impressed by the quality of the pictures. One added advantage I never thought of or heard about was rain. I was always used to protecting my camera in the rain, but now I couldn't care less!
QUALITY - So far, I have taken several hundred pictures and the few disappointments have been my fault. The quality is great.
EASY TO USE - Everyone in my family has taken great pictures. The menu system is intuitive and simple.
ZOOM - 3x zoom is a slight drawback, but the other features make it worthwhile.
MOVIE - Pretty decent. The ability to take underwater picutres is great. Nothing like taking a movie of yourself jumping in the pool and having the camera catch the action above and below water.
OVERALL - I am very happy with my decision to buy this camera.


"Great durable camera", I bought this camera to replace a Canon that recently broke. I read the other reviews and this camera is worth it. Great value.

I especially like the underwater feature and I've taken plenty of quality videos at the beach and in the pool. People can't believe you're taking a camera into the water.

Shutter speed could be faster in some cases where low light is there an I've had a couple of blurred shots. Overall, pictures are sharp, good battery life.

There is one stupid proprietary thing Olympus requires. The M or H Picture card IS REQUIRED if you want video longer than 10 seconds. The camera comes with a microSD adapter but they limit video on SD to 10 seconds. With the M or H PictureCard, it can take video for as long as you have storage. This is the only negative.

"LOVE it!!!", I love this camera! I bought it right before a trip to Hawaii and took some (300+ in all) really great pictures! It is easy to use and takes beautiful pictures. I love that it can go under water - the main reason I bought it. It does take better pictures in the pool than in the ocean, but I just ended up taking lots of pictures at the pool! I now have a video of my daughter (who swims like a fish) swimming under water! That alone is worth the price of the camera for me. There is no way I could ever capture that! The still pictures, above and below the surface, are great too! The battery lasted long enough. It did run out but only after taking lots of pictures. I did recharge the battery every night. But that's no big deal. Also, the battery should only be put in one way, but as long as you are careful and look at both the camera and the battery, you shouldn't have a problem putting it in wrong. Just be careful I read someone put it in wrong and had a hard time getting it back out. The only drawbakc to this camera, although not a big one, is that the XD card does not fit in either my 4 year old desktop or my brand new laptop computer. You have to connect via the USB port and download directly from the camera, again, if it takes a long time the battery life can be an issue.

All in all, I still feel it is the most fun camera I have ever owned! If you need a new, compact camera that can take pictures absolutely anywhere and under any conditions, buy this camera!

"Awesome for on-the-go and for parents of small children", I bought this camera so I would have a small one I could easily drag around with me and also for its indestructible qualities because I have 2- and 4 year-old boys. I've been pleasantly surprised by the picture quality and functions, especially the Shadow Adjustment feature, which allows you to shoot during very sunny days. The response time is pretty good. I still prefer my Canon Rebel SLR for quality indoor photos, but this cute little camera is great for treks, and I can let my 4-year-old use it without too much fear. Be sure to buy the newer M+ Olympus card or you will only be able to take 10 second videos. The M+ 2GB card allows for about 18 minutes of 30 fps video and is supposed to be faster than the M type.

"bad night pictures and makes you look reallyyyy pale or really dark", i really am disappointed with this. i was excited because it was waterproof and drop proof which i took as being "college proof" since i've ruined 2 cameras by either dropping them or getting them wet. however it's almost not worth the crappy pictures it takes. they're all blurry, have this weird glowy haze, HORRIBLE night picture, like absolutely horrible, and it either makes you look really really pale or really really like reddish brown depending on your skin color. i really hate this camera. maybe it's just mine?
