It’s common for people to break digital cameras. Whether its dropping it on the ground, taking it for a swim, or even taking it for an adventure into freezing temperatures, we have all done it. Thanks to Olympus, we can now worry less about our digital cameras with the Olympus Stylus 850 SW. This new digital camera is shockproof (5ft), waterproof (10ft), and freezeproof (14 degrees). These features are all extremely desirable, but the fact that the Olympus Stylus 850 SW also takes a picture that has impeccable quality makes it a done deal.

Until waterproof digital cameras were developed, the only option when it came to taking a picture underwater was a big disposable camera with a heavy plastic cover. The Stylus 850 has a waterproof seal that allows you to take pictures (and even movies) in water, which can come in handy while at the pool over summer, a vacation in the Caribbean, or even a party where your camera gets dipped into a glass. Instead of spending time worry about getting your camera wet, you can now enjoy taking pictures and videos with less anxiety about ruining your digital camera. Another way this camera can benefit you is that is it shockproof. This means that if you drop your camera from a distance of five feet or less, your camera and your pictures will be unharmed. This is great for someone who is always on the go or simply clumsy (like myself). While all of these different elements of the Stylus 850 are innovative and useful, it’s the quality of the picture that draws people to this camera. The face detection and digital image stabilization features allow you to take a variety of superior pictures, even when you are on the move.

After using this camera, I could ever image not using a camera that was not shockproof or waterproof. I am ashamed to admit that I have had many accidents with past digital cameras, but am relieved to finally discover a camera that protects itself. I enjoy this camera because I feel safe bringing it with me when out on a Saturday night, or even on a spontaneous beach trip. My only worry with this camera is that someone might try to steal it due to its desirability. Essentially what I am trying to tell you is that accidents happen to everyone and rather then constantly worrying and avoiding taking pictures, you can rely on the Olympus Stylus 850 SW to give you a sharp, clear images, without the fear of dropping it on the ground, in the water, or in the snow.
