Being one of the newest of the underwater digital cameras, I had reasoned that surely the leak issues had been resolved. I bought this for snorkeling in Hawaii and on the second use, water got into it. Since I got the Stylus Tough 6020, I have already crashed while tree skiing, launching it into the snow. It survived the impact with a tree and landing in the slushy wet snow and kept recording the whole time. Also I can't wait to use the underwater feature on our next vacation. It also gives me some peace of mind knowing that it can be dropped from 5 foot and not be damaged. This is just something to help you out if you buy one. All of this was bought for $180. Unlike my old camera that broke after a day at the beach (sand got in the lens). This camera is still going strong after going to the beach every day for a week!
Also, the pictures are great quality and crisp. I use it a lot on cars, and the detail is great. This is the second Olympus Tough that I have own. The first one died after 3 years of taking it to the beach and eventually the seals give up and let water in (sea water).
I read all of the reviews and no one mentioned the horrible sound quality. It sounds like the camera was under water. The camera was constantly covered in dew, rained on, and had a 35 pound backpack lying on top of it. Despite all of that, it worked flawlessly.
The screen is full of water. I am over it. At least Amazon let me return it! Bought a 6020 while on a cruise ship "it was the best they had".
Nice features. Best buy has it on sale for 269. If you open it while it is wet or your hands are wet, then you should expect problems. After videotaping under water, I waited the suggested time, and made sure it was all dry, then opened the camera up to hook up to my computer.
Wouldn't you want to know all that it does? This camera does a lot. While all of these were preventable, they don't detract from the overall value of this camera. I purchased this for upcoming travel in a harsh environment likely to test each of its waterproofing, shock proofing and dustproofing.
