 Average Quality Camera September 7, 2010
Darren G
I was not overly happy with this camera. The first time I went to use the camera to take underwater photo's in the ocean, it wouldn't turn on. Sand had gotten in the camera where the lens cover is and it was jambed closed. Once I dug out the miniscule piece of sand, it worked fine until another piece of sand caused it to happen again.
The second issue I have with this camera is it's timing in turning on and taking photo's. It is ridulous how long it takes. I read a review that said that you can speed this up by turning off the camera's picture review and getting a faster memory card. I did that and it is still slow.
One plus to the camera is that the picture quality was very good. It doesn't compare to my DSLR but I like it for being a pocket camera.
Good camera; not "dust proof" September 3, 2010
DocTango
I purchased this camera for my deployment to Afghanistan. Given that one of the camera's features is that it is "dust proof," I thought it would be a good buy. Although the camera is more durable than other models, I would not call it "dust proof" as much as "dust resistant." Two months into the deployment I began having trouble with the lens cover not fully retracting. After three months, it stopped retracting completely. As I couldn't send the camera in for repairs (no postal system to mail it) I decided to risk further damage by taking apart the camera. When I opened it up I found dust covering the inside, along with a layer of corrosion. I managed to temporarily fix the camera; but a day later the problem returned. I ended up having to order a new camera--which I'm still waiting on. The Stylus Tough 6000 takes good pictures, but there is a long delay from when you push the button to when the photo is taken. During photo ops I always had complaints about that. I would recommend this product (in fact, the camera that I ordered is the upgraded version); however, I would recommend proper care for the camera, as it isn't as durable as the manufactorers would claim. Since most places aren't as dusty as Afghanistan, I would say that the only inconvient feature is the delay when you're taking pictures. For those troops who are deploying, don't carry the thing around in your cargo pocket like I did. I thought the microfiber pouch I kept it in would protect it, but it didn't. Invest in a pelican case and ignore the fact that it's "dust proof," because moon dust will still get inside. All around, it's a great camera and certainly more durable than most.
 Great Customer Service August 31, 2010

I just ordered a camera that I needed in by Friday (today is Tuesday). So I called the customer service to make sure it would make it in time. They quickly informed me that it probably wouldn't make it, but they could ship it over night and I wouldn't have anything to worry about.
Awesome customer service.
 terrible camera in most lighting situations August 25, 2010
S. chhin
I've had this camera for over a year. I've taken maybe 60 photos with it even though I'm an avid photographer. The picture quality is so bad I rarely bring it out. This camera will take good pictures in bright sunlight outdoors ONLY! I had to use it to take a picture of a hand yesterday and the flash kept coming on in iAUTO mode. Of the 3 pictures, 1 was blown out by the flash, 1 was out of focus, the the third was mediocre with poor detail. Most of the shots I've taken with it under less than ideal lighting (outdoors and bright sun) have come out inferior. All indoor shots are inferior. The software just isn't working here. It needs a lot more tuning, but Olympus has never updated the firmware.
Another thing that's happened a lot is that the camera will randomly switch from using the data card to using the internal memory. So after a few shots it's full and I have to pull the card out and reinsert it to get it working again. I am using a 4GB Transcend microSD card with the XD card adapter supplied with the camera. I'm looking into buying a 2GB XD card now to see if that will fix the issue. I couldn't find any XD cards larger than 2GB. Very odd since I have a 16GB SD card in my other camera.
The reason I got this camera in the first place was because I've drowned 2 others in the river fishing. So for showing that humongous fish you've caught, in which case capturing you and the fish is more important than the actual picture quality, this camera will suffice. It won't short out in the water and won't die when you drop it. But if you want pictures to print or post on Flickr, this is not it. My other camera is a Lumix LX3, my pride and joy. Comparing the 2 would be like comparing a Yugo with Lamborghini. Yugos were poorly designed and built cars from the 80s for you kids.
 good and bad August 24, 2010

The camera takes GREAT pictures in the water and out...very happy with it except the lense got stuck and it wouldn't take pictures until I cleaned it with a q-tip for hours and that's after reading and rereading the manual for 2 weeks trying to figure out what was wrong.
