Customer Rating:      Summary: fun versitile Comment: I bought the camera for my sister, as she travels all of the world doing mission and relief work in central and south America, and this camera is perfect for her. IT is durable, shock resistant and waterproof.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Amazing Comment: This camera is amazing. You can do so much with it. Drop it in water, throw it who cares. Awesome. However the first one I bought stopped working. I returned it and they quickly sent me a new one that works great.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great Camera! You won't be dissappointed! :) Comment: I researched this camera heavily before purchasing it. I was even a bit skeptical with its claims of being waterproof, shockproof, etc. But in the end, I decided to give it a shot and I have not been disappointed.
This camera lives up to its promise. I tested it underwater and it took very nice pictures! Although, one thing you do need to keep in mind is that for the camera to stay functional, you need to follow the very simple upkeep instructions.
Image quality: Absolutely amazing. I bought a 2gb xd for the camera and on 10mp normal resolution you can take about 400 photos. I set my photos at 10mp fine resolution. I really like this feature because on my older camera, I had to convert the image to high-res after it was on the computer.
One thing with the image quality that you might need to watch out for: if you are shooting macro or super-macro, you'll probably want to use a tripod. You can get a decent shot without one, but a tripod makes it soo much easier.
Another great thing about this camera is the battery. I wasn't sure I was going to like having a battery you had to plug into the wall to charge but its great to not have to keep buying AAs all the time. The battery keeps a charge quite a few hours of fairly heavy use (constant zooming, turning off/on, viewing images, etc.) You can find replacement batteries for fairly cheap too. I found an offbrand battery for $[...] and free shipping on [...].
Also, in researching this camera, I found some links to the possibilities of photography with this camera.

Customer Rating:      Summary: Awesome Camera - The Waterproof Part is THE BEST! Comment: Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1AEEPYVR3DL9J Love the Olympus 1030SW - it matches my lifestyle... rough, tough & ready for anything, especially water. Shot a short video of me jumping in a lake, which obviously doesnt phase the camera whatsoever.
