Olympus Camera Waterproof

I've heard of far too many cases of people saying that their Olympus waterproof camera had leaking seals.
I need it for holidays (going to the USA), and can't risk buying an Olympus if it might leak.
Just wondering if anyone can recommend an Olympus model that isn't prone to leaking seals,
Or can anyone tell me how the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT1 performs in comparison (picture quality, speed, practicality etc.)

A Panasonic Lumix TS1 series camera is the best waterproof camera you can get (it might also be the most expensive one).

A lot of people have had problems with the image results when they took pictures with the Olympus Stylus Tough-8000, so it's probably a good thing that you didn't buy it. The Fujifilm FinePix Z33WP and the Canon D10 cameras are your other options. The most affordable you could get is the Fuifilm FinePix Z33WP.

I hope this helps!
Good luck!

Digitalcamerainfo.com previews the Olympus 1030SW waterproof digital camera, launched at the PMA show in Las Vegas.

I am considering buying the OLYMPUS Stylus 550WP Blue 10.0 MP 2.5" LCD 3X Optical Zoom Waterproof Digital Camera with the open box policy from newegg. Would this be a mistake? Would the camera somehow not be waterproof?? It would be a savings of $40 if I bought it the open box way. Is it worth the risk?

Newegg is a highly rated site with very high levels of customer satisfaction.

Buying open box is always a risk because that means that someone has been in that box. Was the camera removed? Did someone shoot photos with it? Does it carry the full maker's warranty? Did some one handle or mishandle the camera? All these are valid questions.

With newegg's high ratings however, you'll probably be safe. However I still believe you'd be better off not saving the $40 and buy new.

These kinds of deals can be so tempting but... who really knows besides newegg - I don't and I don't think you do either.

Good Luck

Easy to see in pools, lakes or oceans
Bright Orange Color
Keeps Your Camera or Binocular afloat

I know this sounds like a stupid question, it had waterproof in the description i was just wondering if anyone knew how deep it could go.... or would that mean splash proof???

Make: olympus x-560WP Compact Digital

You can go down to 10ft. deeper than that the pressure is too high and will push through the seal.
