An OK Camera. An amazing waterproof camera!,
This thing really does all the things Olympus claim. The photo quality is just so-so though. It’s not ever worth taking 12MP photos with it so I have mine set to 8MP. Like so many high MP cameras today, the lens just isn’t good enough to capture the detail – and what do you expect for a $200 camera that’s waterproof? However, it does allow you to digitally zoom that bit further and the video is great. It’s unfortunate that the video format is not standard, and doesn’t work with anything or any software I’ve found so far. I’m sure they’ll fix that at some point.
Other gotchas…
The battery life is very poor – but I found some higher capacity compatible batteries on Amazon that were very cheap (like 2 for under $10) so I’d advise just buying replacements.
The menus are a little confusing and at first it can seem that you’re limited and the camera can’t do certain functions, but it actually can if you figure out why certain features are restricted in certain modes. The camera has a very unhelpful message like “Not supported” that it will display – but doesn’t explain why the mode you’re trying to select is not supported. It will take a thorough read of the online instruction manual to figure this out, but don’t give up and you’ll figure it out.
Apart from that, I’m very happy with it. It won’t replace my ‘land’ camera, but it is awesome for snorkeling, boating, and swimming. Here’s a video I took with it last week in Maui. You’ll have to cut/paste this in a browser because Amazon won’t recognize it as a link… […]
