is the olympus stylus 560wp digital waterproof camera actually waterproof or just come with a case that is?

we saw a boxing day ad for this camera but my husband thinks it might just be a regular digital camera with a ‘waterproof’ case. has anyone seen this camera in person? is the camera itself waterproof? we’re having a hard time finding info on it online.

thanks.

the oly stylus 550wp is a waterproof camera, not a camera inside a clear case. it is similar, but less expensive than the stylus 8000 “tough”.

i have this camera and like it very much. if you plan to use this in the water, i recommend you get the optional floatation strap. it will sink if you let go underwater and is only waterproof to 10 foot depth.

Olympus Camedia C-160 Digital Camera


Image by Arty Smokes (deaf mute)
Launched in 2004, the Camedia C-160 is a small compact digital camera at the budget end of the spectrum. It’s ideal for the occasional snapshot and has a reasonably good macro function (20cm) making it ideal for taking photos of products to be sold on eBay. Indeed, that’s what my mum used it for before she upgraded to a Panasonic Lumix.
Although I inherited this camera about a year ago, I never actually took a half decent photo with it and much preferred my mobile phone for street shooting. My main problems with the Olympus were the way it ate batteries like they were Cheerios and a memory card with as much room as a gnat’s chuff.
There’s nothing remotely special about this camera. The sliding lens cover design is one Olympus has been using for compacts since the classic XA, but the case is made from cheap plastic that shows every little abrasion. (My photos make the camera look metallic, but it’s really not that shiny).
Specifications:
1/2.7 inch CCD with 3.2 million pixels.
The 5-element lens has a focal length of just 5mm, but coupled with the tiny sensor it provides a field of vision like a 33mm full-frame. The maximum ISO equivalent is a quite pathetic 150. The aperture is relatively fast and wide, however, at a maximum of f/2.8. Shutter speeds: 2 – 1/800s.
There is a real viewfinder, which is small but usable. The LCD is a modest 1.5" version.
4 scenes modes, TTL autoexposure, various flash modes and autofocus just about round off this distinctly underwhelming piece of kit. Like many old digital cameras, it’s worth less than the batteries it requires.

LARGE.

I am going on a month long expedition to central america and wish to take a digital camera.

I was wondering if anyone knows any very good case which are strong and avoid my camera breaking (acer digital camera or canon).

I know there are lots of very good ipod cases so i was wondering if there are any for cameras?

If not are there any specialist cameras – e.g.OLYMPUS MJU-770

Thanks in advance,

um, i’m not sure, i know that they have cameras that are shockproff, freezeproof, and waterproof, i know that they have cases for cameras, but i wouldn’t think they would have a case that can fit around the camera and protect. I mean, it can protect the camera whilst it is in used.

they will probably have a waterproff housing for your camera, but that’s where the money comes in, next time mention the name of your camera to help me better answer your questions

anyway, the link for the camera is :
http://www.amazon.com/Olympus-Stylus-790SW-Waterproof-Orange/dp/B000UW3DB6/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1211729913&sr=1-10

it would be a good investment, and is resistant to the elements. Bye, i hoped that i’ve helped you more

Yours Sincerely,
Nathan Grammatico
