Superb
First off, the cons, since they're most important
-XD Picture Card.
This is the biggest thing that irks me, since XD is a dying brand and Olympus refuses to give it up. However, since working with it, i've found nothing really bad about xd, only that it's like sd but just a tiny bit bigger, so don't worry about this.
-Doesn't come in orange.
Oh well, I think i'll live with silver (which is very nice by the way)
-Has an odd "favorites mode" i proba...

olympus camera
Small, beautiful, lightweight, this camera is perfect for my uses: in the garden, for my business, on family trips and vacations. I am not a "tech-savvy" person and needed a camera that would not break, that I could find in my bag, and that would keep taking picture after picture. It has great clarity and simple features. I learned to use it in 10 minutes.

OLD CAMERA NUT LIKES CAMERA
Photography has been a hobby of mine for thirty five years. My first demand is the camera takes quality photos. They must be ultra sharp with good color balance.
I am usually a Nikon and Canon brands fan. I purchased a Olympus high end point and shoot twenty years ago on advice of a good friend motorcycle rider. Hated that camera! Prints were fuzzy, color was terrible. Still have it, like new and in the box. So, this fathers day I opened my present from my wife and guess what a Olympus 850...

includes charger and micro-sd adapter
First off this camera comes with a micro-sd to xd card adapter which means you can use micro-sd cards in this camera.
Use must use 4 gb or higher micro-sd card to film video longer then 10 seconds. My new 4 gb one holds 3 hrs of video.
Camera can be charged through usb and included wall unit.
I purchased the silicon skin to protect against and scratches or dents from dropping it.
I have taken hundreds of above water and underwater pictures. This ca...

Excellent camera!!
I bought this product for my family trip to Disney in August. I needed something that was waterproof so I can use in the waterparks, and it had to be small since I don't want to be carrying around my purse. So far it is great. It fits into my little wristlet so I know that I can walk around these parks without a bulky purse. I used it to our recent trip to an aquarium and the pictures taken inside without the flash were pretty good. It was dark in some areas, so those pics were a little blu...

Almost perfect
I bought this as my "field" camera while out hiking, trail running, X-Ctry skiing, etc when I don't feel like carrying our normal load of camera gear. It also goes with me when deployed and field exercises with the Army.
Other than dropping it, I have put it through its paces and it continues to take quality photos. The stabilization feature works well for photos in daylight but longer exposures have noticable shake. The pictures are crisp, telephoto is more than adequate and basic...

Amazing
So i purchased this camera to take with me on my trip to cancun where im planning on doing some snorkeling, although i still have not taken the camera on the trip i have already used it and know what its capable of. The camera has the BEST image stabalizer and anti-blurr system i have ever seen, my brother took the camera to a nascar race and took a picture of a car going over 175mph right infront of him and there was no blurr. It has a great macro setting to take close up pictures, i took a pic...

Great for older kids!
I was looking for an 'unbreakable' camera for my hopelessly clumsy 10 year old who begged me for one as a birthday gift. Considering that my dad trusted me with an SLR when I was 10, I decided to give her a chance too - but with precaution. I've read many reviews that the picture quality of the Olympus 850 SW was not so great - and that's true if you're so used to Canon and Nikon (we have both in point and shoot and dSLR).
However, the greatest features of this camera are it's capab...

had high hopes
I have been in photography for 20+ years. I use both pro and point and shoot cameras depending on where I am and what I am shooting. I recently purchased this camera as a go anywhere camera and tried it out on a trip to bermuda after reading all of the great reviews. I should have taken a back up camera. First the battery lasts about 10 minutes of shooting time. (about 50-110 shots depending on the flash) It is lower if you try to use the video mode. I would say faulty battery but several other ...

crushing, crushing dissappointment
I originally bought the 850 sw for a trip to Mexico, but the charger that came with it didn't work. Olympus promptly sent me another, but not in time for the trip. It makes me ill when I think of the cenotes, reefs, ocean, jungle, four-wheelers, and the wedding and friends I wish I had pictures of.
Then, roughly two months later, I had still taken less than 30 pictures with the camera when the screen went completely white the Olympus failed to work altogether. I spoke with a represe...
