Amazing Camera by Olympus...

Date of Review:  Dec 14, 2008
The Bottom Line: The Olympus 850SW is a great camera for anything from family portraits to carribean vacations. There is no camera with more features yet simplicity for this price.
Review: OLYMPUS STYLUS 850SW

Nice for summer but not otherwise

Date of Review:  Aug 12, 2008
The Bottom Line: Would not recommend. Nice for situations when you can't use other cameras but not for general use.
Review: I recently purchased the Stylus 850SW after putting it off. I already have a point and shoot but I had planned on a lot of water activities this summer and thought a waterproof/shockproof camera would be a nice addition.

I finally picked...

Great Digital Camera for Everyday Use

Date of Review:  Nov 7, 2008
The Bottom Line: This camera is great, durable, easy to use and well priced.
Review: The Olympus Stylus 850 SW is a great camera for both digital pictures as well as short videos. I have had it for almost a year now and have yet to be disappointed. This camera comes with claims to be waterproof up to 10 feet, shockproof up to 5...

Hands Down One of the Best Cameras I Have Ever Owned

Date of Review:  Jun 2, 2009
The Bottom Line: Buy this camera. It's more durable and dependable than any other similarly priced camera.
Review: I've had this camera for almost a year. I have brought it all over the world and put it through all kinds of torture. Whether its showing off its water proofing by submerging it in a pint of beer or its toughness by dropping it repeatedly this thing...

The TODDLER PROOF Camera

Date of Review:  Aug 8, 2008
The Bottom Line: The best, most durable and flexible family camera out there. Can replace your cam corder and all its accessories for capturing quick family video, also!
Review: A great little camera that can stand up to your toddler, the pool, even being dropped! Do you fall in love with a camera, only to somehow damage it or have it stop working? This is the camera for YOU. We replaced our semi-waterproof Olympus Stylus...

Wonderful Camera

Date of Review:  Jul 17, 2008
The Bottom Line: Need a camera... this is it hands down... simple, durable and good pictures.
