Olympus 6000 Underwater Digital Camera Review

I recently purchased the Olympus 6000 Underwater “Stylus Tough” Digital Camera. Here is my review of the camera.

One cool feature is this is a tap camera meaning you can tap the camera underwater and work the options. Has a large LCD display on the back. Easy control with quick click button – no need to hold down to take a photo. My camera is a sleek looking steel blue. Some of the features include: Anti-shudder, 10 mega pixel max, in camera photo-editing, can take digital video/movies. The Olympus 6000 camera also comes with a 1GB XD memory card and has a self closing lense cover. You do need to make sure your finger doesn’t cover the flash as it is easy to accidentally slide your finger in the way.

The phone itself is very smooth and lightweight, yet dense and solid. The Olympus underwater DC will easily fit in a shirt pocket. Display comes with a HyperCrystalView but the unenhanced visual isn’t clear. Anti-shudder feature is impressive, I purposely shaked my arm while taking a picture and it came out perfectly still.

We’re about to use this camera in the Virgin Islands and try to take some beautiful waters using the 10 foot (10ft) or 3 meter (3m) water depth ability and post some of those pictures on here.
