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.

Dear Olympus Stylus 1030SW,

What luck I’ve had in meeting you! Where have you been all my life? Our time together has been nothing short of magical. You are beautiful, fun, and easy to be with.

I’m sure you know that you’re not my first digital camera, but you are by far the best. My other cameras have been too bulky, their LCD screens too narrow, too dim. The pictures they take nowhere near as clear. You truly excel at everything you do.

Most digital cameras prize function over form, flitting around town decked out in ugly gray rectangles. Not you! Your case dazzles with vibrant colors! Your viewscreen is a thing of beauty, large and vibrant. When I gaze into your 2.7” HyperCrystal™ II LCD viewscreen, I know exactly what the picture will look like when I upload it onto my computer or print it out.

And speaking of printing out, you are one of the most accommodating cameras I’ve ever known. Your USB cable interface does not need that I load your software before transferring. You’ll also connect directly into PicShare equipped photo printers for the times when I just don’t want to bother with my computer. With a resolution up to 10.1 MP, the pictures come out looking stunning, and with a 3.6x Wide-Angle Lens, I don’t miss a single thing in my shot.

For all your beauty, you’re so strong inside. You can handle a drop from over 6 ft. in the air! Waterproof to a depth of 33 ft. for underwater photography! Crushed under 220 lbs. of pressure! You can even be frozen to 14 degrees Fahrenheit! Your rugged design makes you a perfect traveling companion. There’s no fear of you breaking in the great outdoors!

Alas, all is not perfect  in our interactions. While I try not to judge my companions on the company they keep, I am shaken by your insistence in associating yourself with an XD-Picture card. Yes, I’m aware that you will accommodate other formats, with your included XD-Picture to Micro-SD adapter, but in order to use your advanced features (like auto-stitching panoramic photography, or a 3D effect) I must compromise my own data card setup and purchase a new format. How can you be so unyielding?

In close, I must say that you are simply the best point-and-shoot digital camera that I’ve ever used. Your high resolution, clear viewscreen and wide angle lense take beautiful pictures and your sturdiness ensures that we’ll be taking photos together for a long time to come.

Much Love,

Amazing Tech Guy
