Considering buying a newegg open box olympus waterproof camera? Opinions?

waterproof digital camera with good zoom image

Rachel

I am considering buying the OLYMPUS Stylus 550WP Blue 10.0 MP 2.5" LCD 3X Optical Zoom Waterproof Digital Camera with the open box policy from newegg. Would this be a mistake? Would the camera somehow not be waterproof?? It would be a savings of $40 if I bought it the open box way. Is it worth the risk?

Answer
Newegg is a highly rated site with very high levels of customer satisfaction.

Buying open box is always a risk because that means that someone has been in that box. Was the camera removed? Did someone shoot photos with it? Does it carry the full maker's warranty? Did some one handle or mishandle the camera? All these are valid questions.

With newegg's high ratings however, you'll probably be safe. However I still believe you'd be better off not saving the $40 and buy new.

These kinds of deals can be so tempting but... who really knows besides newegg - I don't and I don't think you do either.

Good Luck

What is the best digital camera on the market, relating price to quality?

C.c. B

With + 5 mega pixels and +4 optical zoom. Underwater digital camera suggestions would be great. I've had my Kodak CD33 for almost 3 years now and am looking for another camera.

Answer
You should try the Pentax W30, which is a good waterproof camera for scuba diving and such activities.
