I think you should not post a review of any camera I you don’t know any damn thing about it !!

Olympus is the BEST !!!!!

icecrv555 on February 21st, 2011, 6:01 pm

Pentax w90 is much better

I’ve got the Olympus Stylus Tough. Took it to Jamaica with me :) I’ve got some great videos of snorkelling. Would be nice with a little more battery life, but it works great. Good for snowboarding aswell with the tap feature so you can leave your gloves on :)

whats a waterproof camera that cam be mounted on a kayak and can all water proof cameras go fully under the water

@stavros8 Just got the Fujifilm XP10… so far its great! Got it at Costco for $140. Takes 720p video, and it is fantastic quality! The buttons are easily laid out, pictures are quick, and it has a quality feel to it with an all metal uni-body. Its tough! Not the best low light shooter, but what camera can you say is at that price point- that you can take almost anywhere in confidence? In my opinion it’s the best out there right now for a great price.

@b16ryder I worked at Costco, I wouldnt trust anything a majority of consumers buy, and most Best Buys I have been to the staff had no idea what they or I were talking about. Personally Id go to a real camera store for professional insight. Canon is a great company, but they don’t make all the best cameras- check into each one individually for the specific use you want to use it for.

have tested, and seen a lot, im 100% in for the olympus 8000. due to its thoughness. and ! its awesome for winter holiday aswell.

CANON IS ALWAYS TOP HIGH RATED CAMERA… I work at best buy and 95% of people buy canons from us… People just like the quality and pretty much everything on the camera…

What a great way to review cameras.. I like this a little better than CNET reviews.

ExON00 on February 22nd, 2011, 12:51 am

I have an Olympus tough 8010, and it briliant. waterproof down to 10meters. I go scuba diving with it, and the tap-control feature is genius. None of those cameras has buttons that can be used with neoprene gloves on.

SquishTheLish on February 22nd, 2011, 1:18 am

What kind of beach is that? Gravol? Seriously?
It looks really cold, too.

And why are you taking pictures above the water?
It’s a WATERPROOF camera.

stavros8 on February 22nd, 2011, 2:02 am

no hd video in the canon …:(
can anyone recommend a good waterproof hd VIDEO camera? thank you…:)

bestamerica on February 22nd, 2011, 2:31 am


where is this pier beach

oosallythatgirl on February 22nd, 2011, 2:45 am

are the pictures from the canon better than the pictures from the panasonic? I like the panasonic’s screen because it looks bigger and because of its HD feature, but if it doesn’t have as good of picture quality as canon then I may have to get canon.

shes a but her shoes!

IzzySpint on February 22nd, 2011, 3:49 am

i hate when people take the colour of the camera into account or some crap like that, it’s a fucking camera!!! the pictures are meant to look good not the camera itself!

barrelracer4lifecg13 on February 22nd, 2011, 5:09 am
