Awful nb
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If 0 stars was an option that’s what I would rate it. Worked about 2 hours then died. They replaced the insides and again died. Don’t waste your time or money

Not as flexible as expected
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There is no viewer. The wide angle/telephoto adjustment is flimsy like it will break off. Disappointed with the ease of use. No instruction manual included in the box and settings on the camera prompts are not easy to find.

NOT WATERPROOF
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this item after waiting for another shipment. I thought "WOW it must be really popular". I used it for only hours at the beach when it stopped taking photos because water got in the lens. Sent it to through Geek Squad for a compression test and it failed. Couldn't return it because it was 'damaged' so I will never buy another Olympus camera again.

Avoid Olympus!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I spent a little extra based on reputation - SURPRISE! In 6 months the camera failed. No rough treatment. Probably total use of less than 6 hours and it just stopped working. Now I have to jump through all kinds of hoops to try and get it repaired and I will probably never be able to trust it again. Big mistake. Never will buy Olympus again. The very very old Nikon I bought this to replace still works. Lesson learned.

Screen went black after 3 days
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted to love this camera. It had all the features I was looking for. Unfortunately 3 days into my trip to the Galapagos, the viewing screen went black and I couldn't see anything to take pictures or to change settings on the camera. I wound up calling it the mystery camera and took pictures blind. Luckily it had died on scn Landscape so I got some good pics anyway.

useless
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.lasted a couple of days before condensation got in lens and ruined pictures. had an older version for 3 years and no problems, this later one is useless. Plus Best Buy returns policy is poor - 30 days but if you're travelling this doesn't work. Should have stuck to Costco

Not a reliable câmera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this camera for a trip to the Bahamas and unfortunately it broke on the first day. It was locked, but somehow water got inside it. I was at the pool and not even snorkeling. We were very disappointed. No photos in the water from our trip...

Better than expected
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this camera for an upcoming vacation to the Bahamas and really wanted something that was waterproof and HD. This camera is that and more! The picture and video quality is amazing. It's user interface is a breeze to navigate. And the full 1080p 60fps video option really makes a big difference. If you are looking for a versatile, lightweight, tough HD camera for under $300 this is it.

Best camera ever!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best camera ever!! I love this camera. I still use it till this day. And I hope it never breaks on me. I love using this instead of my phone. And since it’s waterproof it’s even better. It’s been thru so much and captured so many good pics. Giving me lots of good memories. My selfie game is strong. =]

Great Macro picture taking
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this camera for a kayak and snorkel trip. Takes good pictures overall. Takes really good macro shots. I wished I would have tested the water part before our trip. It was taking pretty good shots from the kayak then when it was time to snorkel took 2 pictures under 1 feet of water. That was it. Water got in and shut the camera down. I went back to the instructions to make sure I did everything on my part right. Yes I did. Oh well, Best Buy took it back. Good thing was there was nothing of significance visually in the snorkeling we did so didn't miss much.
