What camera????

[UserRemoved1]

Just got the wife one of these for her birthday and it's a nice little camera.

Second Olympus digital and wouldn't buy anything else. Buydig was real quick and service was great.

I used an Olympus 770SW all last season. Dunked it, swam with it and took underwater pictures with it. I was very happy with it until I went to take a picture with it a few weeks back and noticed a crack on the screen and water inside the camera. Sent it back to Olympus for service last week. While I am sure things will turn out fine, I was quite shocked to see my shockproof / waterproof camera busted. Just another reason why I shouldn't be allowed to have nice things.

Yeh, you can't do good stuff - and the 770 is rated tougher & deeper by Olympus than their other models

i just LOST the Stylus Tough-6000,
10 mega pixels, phenominal pix, and the newest
shockproof, waterproof, by Olympus~~~GREAT!!!
while it lasted, dadgummitttt

i owned the 770 for over a year until i left
it behind in a rental car while returning from DC.
that camera was the ballz and very surf friendly.
would have gotten THAT one again, but the 6000
was the upgraded and newer version that i didNOT

keep long enuff to fully appreciate its durability and
practicality on the rocks. be sure to get the "waterproof"
carrying case that BestBuy and others sell by REI, i think???

and when it's a N'oreaster out there i place the camera
and it's case inside a plastic bag. then inside my backpack,
somewhat anal, i know~~just trying to hedge my bets, as it were!!

I was looking at the Olympus 1030 SW earlier this Spring and figured that was gonna be it for me - then went to B&H Photo and found it has been discontinued...

Looks like it's been replaced by the Tough series...but at $400+ I'm already halfway home to a Nikon D90, which is compatible with all my old Nikkor lenses...

I was actually going to order an Olympus today - I like B&H in NY, used to buy all my film (hey - anybody remember film......) and Hassy stuff from them...I dunno, just looking for a point and shoot right now, water & weatherproof...

One way or another, I'm gonna drag myself kicking and screaming into the 21st Century at some point this afternoon

Maybe the 770 is the way to go...I'll have to price one out...
