To those who owns this kind of camera, please share your reviews...Thanks

Answer
I know Olympus has 2 models for shockproof and waterproof.

1) Stylus 1030. It has very tough body and good picture. Shockproof up 6.6 feet and waterproof up to 33 feet and also freeze proof.

2)Stylus 1050. This one replace the Stylus 1030 and this cost a little bit more. 1050 doesn't have tough looking body but still do the same job. Shockproof only to 5 feet and waterproof up to 10 feet.

Amazon has it for really cheap
Here is the link to the Stylus 1030s

Good luck and have fun

Is the camera 'olympus fe-230' waterproof?

Sophia

It's summer and I want some underwater pictures.. I was going through it and it has some underwater settings and I'm wondering if it is waterproof.. I have another one called 'Casio-Exilim' .. Is it waterproof?
Thanks for the help!

Answer
All the waterproof Olympus cameras have an "SW" or "Tough" in their model number.

Unless the user manual specifically lists either of those cameras as waterproof and tells you how deep you can dive with it, then it is NOT waterproof and you will have to buy or rent a housing for it.

Two such samples

As you can see, some SW cameras are only "rainproof"
