Fantastic Buy - Olympus Underwater Digital Camera Review

By Hailey Powell


Pictures were dark, shutter speed slow...the first day. I thought let me give it a chance and play around with it. I have not tested the waterproof as of yet but will this eve and I am sure it will do just fine. I must say that so far this is one sweet camera and I am not a photographer newbie and take my cameras and work serious so if you take the time to set your camera up and go through your menu setup you will be just fine. We got it for our trip to a beach resort. Well the first few times we used it in the pool it started acting really funny. First Olympus camera ever - got it for my daughter because of its toughness. Wouldn't boot up - very poor manual, no troubleshooting.

Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase. I purchased this camera before a trip to Puerto Rico when I realized my scuba diving camera was broken and could not be repaired before the trip.

We bought this for our teenage son to take on an upcoming trip. The camera is easy to use, and takes incredible pictures. You decide if you want to pay more for fancy stuff. Good pick if you want an affordable, waterproof, backup camera. The LED is amazing. These modes would be great for engagement rings, baby feet and fingers, and pretty much everything. The screen would work, show menus but the camera itself wouldn't show anything on the screen with the lens was open. It was very odd, we waited a few minutes and tried again and it worked fine.

The first was a 7mp that unfortunately went missing. I purchased these cameras to carry with me pretty much full time when I'm out and about so I'll not miss a "photo of opportunity."

It's likely the two "hates" that I listed were indications of a defective camera. The SEVEN items that I listed above that are reasons enough that I would not recommend the camera to anyone. It's definitely worth the cost. Functions are easy to use, like the no batteries, plug into computer or wall and you are done. Phone is now dead as disco and the return labels have already been printed. That's too bad too, because I was very happy with the quality of the pictures and really liked the thought of shooting pictures under water.

The Olympus stylus 6020 with all its features was a good deal for us as a regular point and shoot and when you add the TOUGH factor it was a no brainer! The camera is an excellent camera.

All of my photos taken with the 6020 are perfect, unless I do something wrong. Read the directions and anyone who buys this great little camera will love it and have great success with sharp, clean, well colored photos!
