Great purchase for its purpose.
Great camera if you want/need a waterproof/shockproof camera.
The image quality for pictures taken outdoors is great. But it is really not good for indoor pictures with high ISOs, the pictures becomes extremely pixelated and grainy. I wish they had used a better processor for higher ISO pictures. But if waterproof is the ultimate goal this is definitely the way to go. I took some great pictures underwater and outdoors in general. Nice size and robust built. High recommend for its purpose but if artistic/great shots is your goal, go for a DSLR. This is a bit pricey too, and I got it because I broke my last two cameras because of water spills.

Not really waterproof....
I am not happy with this product at all. It is supposed to be a waterproof camera and that is why you pay a little more when you buy it. It is supposed to be good at 33ft. under water but the first time I used it inside the swimingpool with the kids it was full of water and stopped working. I don't call this a waterproof camera so don't buy it if that is what you want to use it for.

Good camera, but easily scratched
I took this camera on a few kayak trips. It performed great, is easy to use, and had excellent battery life. One problem was that the camera insisted the battery cover was open, although it wasn't. It took a hair dryer for a few seconds to the open battery compartment to straighten things out. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the lcd and the face of the camera were scratched for no apparent reason other than the normal exposure to gear and elements of a kayaking trip. A camera that is supposed to be tough shouldn't scratch so easily. I would suggest getting the silver as the scratches may be less noticeable if you plan to take it along on a similar trip.

A Great Point and Shoot
After taking some time to research this camera, I went ahead and purchased it. On a recent trip to Cabo San Lucas, this camera survived a 2-1/2 to 3 ft. fall onto a marble floor, vibrations from an atv ride, the dust from said atv ride, and the rinse off of the dust. I also used it in the rain at a baseball game, something I would have been hesitant to do with a standard point-and-shoot. The pictures and video were of very good quality just in the normal settings, as I haven't gone through all the settings yet. High marks to Olympus for this camera.

This camera does it all
and is easy to use...great user interface. Underwater movies with sound is a cool feature. Just when you think you have all the features you need, you read the instructions and find that there are many more that are easily mastered and a lot of fun. Get the floating wrist strap and take it on a snorkeling trip.
