Tough as kids

Pros: Water proof & tough
Cons: Slow and not so great in night scenes
Opinion:
I paid $599 for this a few months ago and have used it many times under water. Have dropped or knocked it a few times and now, I know it's tough. It's not as fragile as the other cameras I owned (Panasonic Lumix something and Casio Exilim something). In fact, I bought this Olympus cos I had wet my Exilim and it's never been the same anymore.
Battery life is pretty decent and I dare say, it's almost as long as Exilim's. So, I can go on a few days of holiday and not worry about it going dry.

Too good to be true

Pros: Works great underwater... and has 3 settings for flash intensity for great photos also.
Cons: Menus could be easier to use
Opinion:
For a camera of this size, I am really impressed but this new camera.
It has worked well under water, in day, night and indoors.
Only worry was the software with it was not as versatile as I wanted.
