 Crappy small camera, but works underwater August 21, 2010

I used this camera during sailing trip to Tonga islands. There are only two good things about this camera:
* It can be taken under water when snorkeling and it takes pictures here.
* The price is much cheaper than any other camera+underwater box.
Everything else is bad.
* It takes about 1 or more seconds to take picture after pressing shutter button (with pre-focusing it takes less). When taking a picture of a moving object you always get not what you were aiming at.
* Controls on the back side of the camera are pretty inconvenient.
* Power button is very close to the shutter button and feels similarly. Several times I switched the camera off instead of taking picture.
* Pictures are often bad: either underexposed or overexposed if shot in iAUTO or P modes. When selecting the right Scene quality is decent 60% of the time, but still not as good I would expect (I have 4 other digital cameras from Olympus and Canon)
* In low light conditions pictures are often out of focus and very grainy. Sometimes pictures are grainy for no reason.
* It does shoot HD movies, but they are HD only because of their dimensions. The quality is pretty crappy, worse than with my old regular movie camcorder.
* The battery lasts for about 60 to 80 pictures (comparing to advertised 180); it was constant pain in the ass to keep the camera charged on the yacht. Even without taking pictures the battery lasted for one or two hours only.
* Camera turns on quite slow (3.5 sec). So, you cannot keep it always on because the battery would die, and you cannot turn it on quickly if you see some interesting action.
* It is difficult to see the LCD in the bright sunlight.
Next time if I go to such a trip, I may take this camera again, but only for underwater pictures. For regular pictures I would take a second camera.
 Camera Review - My Olympus Stylus Tough 3000 July 17, 2010

I am an avid lover of my Olympus Stylus 3000. This compact, and powerful little stylish bubble camera has been the answer to everything that I could possibly ask for.
When Digital Camera's first came out onto the market my very first camera I received was a little digital Olympus from my dad as a gift..
I bet it was something like 5mega pixels or something - but and I loved it too. I carried the little thing everywhere telling my story in self portraying photographs.
..Then somewhere along the lines I decided to take a photography course and upgraded to a Minolta DIMAGE A.2. The BEST on the market at that time (this was in 2004). It was 10 mega pixel SLR and I spent $1100 on that camera.... I hated it. I still dont really know how to use it. Not to mention that Minolta has now become extinct - so I couldnt even buy parts if I wanted to. For YEARS I had this Minolta this BiG honkin' piece of machinery.... That I simply hated carrying around...
Now its 2010, and it was time for an upgrade. Really I was looking for a new still camera that I could compact with me everywhere I went, but there was a catch. I wanted video capacity and HD preferably... Something Cute, and not to expensive...
Then TaDa! This little stylus perked up its little face on Amazon.com. Now the first thing that attracted me to this little Olympus was his price...he was comparably priced at approximately $200, and of course because I once had a Olympus before that I very much loved, we instantly had a connection. Then he continued to tell me about himself...
"I'm waterproof" he said seductively. "You can carry me around with you, anywhere, and we will have an amazing time...you'll never have to worry about me because not only am I susceptible to water, up to 3 meters... but I'm also Shockproof" he said cockily to me. "I'm a Stylus Tough, and I'm one of a kind."
How could I not fall in love with such a wonderful little camera?
But before I could commit to him; I need to feel him, hold him in my hands and KNOW for sure that he was the one for me. So I looked around looking for my prince charming camera. I met many other camera's in the process... but none of them were stacking up to the stylus that I read about on Amazon.com
Then Finally I found him! He came in 4 different colors to choose from, but I knew that I wanted him in Red. The clerk as he was showing him to me, was as charismatic as the camera, and I knew that we were a perfect fit. Today was the day that I getting my new little Olympus Stylus 3000!
He was perfect to hold in my hand, and I liked that his lens was not retractable. To me, that was a feature that was less likely to cause me to send him away to the warranty hospital. His buttons on the back are rubberized and soft. Everything about this camera is fun and noninvasive. He has many "magic" features, and a wide arrange of capture settings such as `cuisine' and `pets'. My favorite setting is the pinhole, and popart in the magicbox. But you can also stencil and create coloring pages!
The only downfall that I have about this little camera is uploading the video. The video feed is only compatible in Quicktime (MP4) and I have to convert all my videos in order to alter them in moviemaking which compromises the quality - quite a bit. And when you are recording video you cannot zoom. you can zoom before you start recording and it will work, but once the red little button has been pushed that's it! no changes missy! and unfortunately the features don't work in video either... so no popart videos :(
Besides that, I highly recommend this Powerful little 12mp, Stylus Camera!

Took this camera on a river adventure, and really tested out the waterproofing. It spent about 5 hours underwater and still took some great shots!
 water camera that doesnt float June 5, 2010

1 out of 5 found this review helpful
camera takes great quality pictures but does not float. was going to order a floating wrist band for the camera but after reading too many 'faulty latch' reviews i have decided to try and come up with a better way to keep the camera afloat. doesnt keep a charge for very long but i guess its suffice.
