Waterproof digital cameras are becoming an increasingly popular option. Because of a slim design that allows you to tote it in your purse or pocket, coupled with the fact that they can withstand at least 30 minutes under water without a protective case, these cameras will only become more commonplace. I have discovered a wonderful new camera that will undoubtedly meet all of your needs. The Olympus Stylus 850 SW 8 MegaPixel ShockProof/Waterproof camera provides you with a strong, durable camera with many features that make capturing your memories a painless process.

This camera has quite a few features that make it attractive. Images are easily organized into albums and folders and are searchable by date when you utilize the Calendar View. This camera also offers one-click editing tools, such as red-eye removal, which allows images to be touched up before printing or emailing. You can continue to make additional post-capture changes through the Beauty Fix mode.

In addition to being waterproof, the Olympus Stylus 850 SW is also freeze proof. At 8 megapixels with 3x optical zoom and 5x digital zoom; this camera takes beautiful pictures under rough circumstances. This camera can definitely survive the harsh activities of everyday life or the more extreme locales of the more adventurous traveler. Aesthetically, you have a number of color and carry options that allow you to personalize the camera.

Unfortunately, the Olympus Stylus 850 SW 8 Megapixel ShockProof/Waterproof camera does have a few drawbacks. Included among these are low battery life and the lack of a travel charger charge or charging station. Also, the camera's memory card only holds 2 gigabytes and necessitates a card reader for most computers. Lastly, you may experience shutter lag, which may prevent you from adequately capturing moving images.

These drawbacks aside, the Olympus Stylus 850 SW 8 MegaPixel ShockProof/Waterproof camera performs exactly as advertised. Shockproof, waterproof up to fourteen feet, and freeze proof down to 14 degrees Fahrenheit, this sturdy and durable camera will last you a lifetime. In addition it contains enough features and frills to insure that you will be able to fix and touch up your pictures. I highly recommend this as an excellent camera for not only everyday usage, but also when you need great pictures in inhospitable locales.
