OCT

2008

While when this camera worked for the 3 days for me it was an amazing camera!!
Took awesome pictures underwater and on the beach. I love how you can change the picture settings to match the souroundings you are in. BUT... IT ONLY LASTED 3 DAYS TILL IT JUST STOPPED WORKING FOR NO REASON!! when turned on would only show a blue screen with error codes. All my end pictures were blurry and horrible!

Sent it in to get fixed which was relatively painless.. Got back just in tiem to go on another trip, and first tiem in the water it died completely... No blue screen nothing ..wont turn on. Olympus has ignored our emails and request to help get this fixed or replace the camera for the past 6 months.
I will never buy from Olympus again...
