Me... I like to take pictures and also do things too not just sit there taking photos.
JOKE = Olympus Meu 10m tough
No1: battery leaked - after 4 months bit less
No2; Warranty replacement - not in synch with self so focus poor auto settings poor picture quality after first one would rate at 65% or less - just could nt use many photos.
Lasted 7 months now dead == gradually got more errors refused to turn on focus stopped etc - assume water leaked in but after the first one this one was not getting much use as quality was naff...
Sad as used first one alot for taking pic's when doing water safety or boards coaching with nippers at surf club. lived inside wetsuit until needed. Shape of this style of camera very convenient - could slide in wettie and carry on hands free...
Tried to get silcon cover 4 extra protection - Olympus OZ recommended AMAZON offshoot who refused to post to oz.. Pathetic marketing by Olympus...
Bottom line my experience equivalent of 2x$530.00 for under 12 months use.
If buy this style of camera paying extra 4 bigger muscles = load of BS better saving money and buy cheaper and replace when dies...
one of my kids bought a 3m w/proof for $180 6 months still working
Next move 4 me is w/p housing probably a HD GOPRO.. no focus but good quality lense.
Love to find a slim-line W/P reasonable focus camera....
with ones I have tried v.average lense and Hi MPixel sensor gives reasonable piki to handle on PC.
The Sea is a tough enviironment 4 unprotected camera to operate in.
Do not expect a camera not in a w/p housing to last well if getting actively used.
I was totally anal about keeping it washed afer use and brushing seals with fine haired paint brush to r3move sand grains etc..
