Waterproof to forty feet shock proof -- six point six feet and crash proof and freeze proof is well. But what's really the standout feature here is the lens and for a change it's not a -- -- but aperture. It's a large F two aperture and it lets in more light than typical lens would. -- which means shooting in low light doesn't immediately mean more noise -- softer photos. Olympus also built in 845 millimeter converter lens adapter -- can add on lenses and filters.

If you can stand a bit of noise, the Olympus Stylus 810 can handle your low-light and high-speed shots. Unfortunately, the easily washed-out LCD limits its use in sunlight.
For those who need a tough, waterproof, and ultracompact digital camera, the Olympus Stylus 720 SW's strengths outweigh some frustrating usability issues.
A wide-angle, wide-aperture lens and a high-sensitivity sensor add up to good low-light photos and fast performance for the Canon PowerShot SD4000 IS.
The Olympus E-P1 is an otherwise excellent enthusiast compact camera hampered by some performance problems and the lack of a viewfinder and built-in flash.
The C-60 Zoom combines snapshot convenience with some advanced settings, but watch out for its hypersensitive on/off switch.
For some, an elegant shooter's design and high-quality low-ISO photos may more than adequately compensate for the Olympus E-P2's sluggish performance.
Reasonably priced for an interchangeable-lens model, with the same high-quality photos of its siblings, the E-PL1 nevertheless suffers from slow performance that makes it a poor choice for snapshooters looking to upgrade.
For going from snorkeling to rock climbing to everyday life, the Olympus Stylus Tough 8000 is a good choice, though its photos and performance can be disappointing.
This inexpensive shooter won't wow you with features, but its price and pictures are nice.
It's a bit slow and lacks manual exposure controls, but the Olympus Stylus 750 is still a very nice snapshot camera.
