I am not going to be going on an amazing vacation and need amazing, stellar pictures that sell them self. Come to find out, I am pleased. So, take your habits with normal photography and double them if you plan on taking this camera below the surface: stay still, don't zoom in low light, and use the flash sparingly, especially in coastal/cloudy water. Learned as we went and read the directions. The memory is the wrong memory. It is the memory for the older model.
If you expect more of the camera, get something bigger and more elaborate but it will cost you. This camera is great, I mean waterproof, and you can't beat it! After less than one year it all of a sudden broke when I was using it in the pool. Some seal must have "popped" and the camera was filled with water (yes battery hatch lock was on). I found out some water drops got inside even it was properly sealed. Also I have to admit the ocean was a kind of rough that day. Most of the pictures come blurry and the color of the pictures is greyish. The flash is very poor. When I ordered my camera I received it earlier then the estimated time, which is awesome. When I got the camera it came looking great.
My husband hands it to me and it is extremely warm. I try to shut it off and it won't shut off. It has been about 3 months and now the camera won't even turn on. I'm sending it back to Olympus, we will see, I researched "Tough" Cameras for a few months before I made my purchase.
I also really like the rechargeable battery; just like my cell phone it charges as I have it plugged in to the USB port. I think it will pay for itself just in the battery savings alone. Operation is aggravating. My wife and I saw this camera in Best Buy and she really liked it. I have had this camera for only about a week and I love it! The pictures and movies are so clear.
Luckily I purchased black tie protection on it from Best Buy so I don't anticipate any problems with repair or return. But now I am stuck on vacation without an underwater camera.
Far away pictures looked soft and lacked any detail. Now granted this water park was indoors but it was fairly well lit so that's not an acceptable excuse.
