 Yes, it's waterproof, but very marginal picture quality September 23, 2008

Well, I wanted this to be the camera that could do it all. I have an old Canon S40 with a UW housing that takes excellent quality pictures - great optics for a point and shoot - but the old Canon is a bit heavy for my shirt pocket and very bulky with the UW housing. Unfortunately, this Olympus 10mp camera takes poorer quality pictures than my old 4mp Canon S40, with or without the UW housing on. Bright sunny day pics turn out acceptably on the Olympus, but any other lighting conditions result in dull, washed out looking, somewhat grainy pictures. Sent it back.
Great camara. . . but could be better September 20, 2008
Everything about the camara is as described , but the quality of photos done in dark conditions is not as good as other similar camaras (eg canon, panasonic..) which lack the water and shock proof features. . .
But overall very happy with it and would recommend it... may be in the near future Canon or Panasonic will go for those features and then.. will see.
Olympus Stylus 1030SW 10.1MP Digital Camera with 3.6x Optical Wide Angle (Silver) September 19, 2008
I recently bought this camera. So far I have noted that its pictures have a great deal of noise and are rather grainy. It is as sturdy as it is touted to be. I have not used underwater yet. It's picture preview is good, and the screen is bright and sharp. Takes poor flash pictures in the dark. Weak overall.
 Wasn't quite a good as I would have hoped September 17, 2008
I dropped my Canon 800si camera and the shutter quit working. Since it was over the warranty period, I bought this camera as a replacement since it looked so cool. I found it not to be as good as my Canon for zooming and picture quality even though my Canon was a 7.1 megapixel and this one is a 10 megapixel. I should have bought another Canon 800si.
 Love this camera! Lost it, buying a new one! September 12, 2008

Hands down, this camera is fantastic.
I've taken it under water, through the worlds largest tomato fight in Spain, and all over the place. It can go through anything.
It also has a picture mode for just about anything you can think of, and takes good pictures.
I'm an outdoor enthusiast, and this camera is fantastic in almost every way. I love that I don't have to worry about where I take this camera, whether I get it dirty, or anything else - it just simply works. I love that.
Ok, now the bad stuff. Really this camera should get a rating of 4.8, because it lacks in a couple of areas.
1) You can't charge it from a USB source, so if you're going on a long trip, you're going to have to buy lots of extra batteries - bummer! And I'm terribly annoyed that they did this.
2) It doesn't turn pictures right side up for you automatically. My friends $140 camera does this for her, and mine does not. It makes me cry every time she pulls out her cheapie.
But, those two deficiencies shouldn't be enough to draw you away from this camera. This thing is bullet proof, works in any environment, and "Just works!" period.
I think they added those two deficiencies just because it would be unfair to the other camera companies if they actually produced a completely perfect camera, no one would want any other one, we would loose competition, and ultimately monopolies are bad for the consumer anyway.
Cheers
