what model olympus camera is it?
missus wants to get a water proof camera
looking at the olympus 1030 but leaning towards the pentax optio w60 (latest model) seems to have a faster shutter lag?????and is 5x optical zoom
if anyone knows about either give us your opinion
Ive got the Olympus 770. I got it about a year ago so Im guessing they have changed a bit.
I love it because of the simple fact that it is water proof for 10m.
Its also 7.1 mega pixels, which I think is plenty.
But the zoom is only 3x which I think is not enough. My next camera will definately have more than 3x zoom.
Make sure you get a bigger memory card. 2 gig or higher. My 2 gig can hold over 10 000 photos at the standard setting. These photos turn out to be around 1.3 mb which IMO is good enough for printing and emailing.
Over all I highly rate the Olympus and never leave home without it.
Hope this helps
