This is my third Olympus “water proof” camera and they are more trouble than they are worth. First one leaked after a year and warranty expired second one leaked within warranty and Olympus fixed it, leaked again a year later no warranty now!
Bought the new TG810 and the SD card is now stuck in the slot. Newer card but I have used it for a month or two. Going on a trip in 10 days don’t have time to deal with Olympus will try when I get back.

POST ALL PROBLEMS SO THEY CAN”T HIDE…
Under the doctrine of caveat emptor, the buyer could not recover from the seller for defects on the property that rendered the property unfit for ordinary purposes. The only exception was if the seller actively concealed latent defects or otherwise made material misrepresentations amounting to fraud.

DO NOT BUY THIS CAMERA!!!!!

This is the third “waterproof” Olympus I tried and once again it started leaking after a few months’ use. And to have it repaired, costs nearly as much as a new camera…!

Fortunately other manufacturers now have waterproof cameras too – I will rather try one of theirs before I ever buy an Olympus again.

STAY AWAY FROM OLYMPUS WATERPROOF CAMERAS – THEY JUST AREN’T!!!!

Who are you people contacting about these issues you’re having? Customer service? They’re not authorised to help you outside of “does it fall within warrant? No? Can’t help you” – even though we’ve made a crap product…. You have to get creative and find someone that can do something for you…

A class action law suit should be started against this company .These SD card/s stuck in the camera renders them useless as the pictures are faulty and cannot be used.These Stylus tough 8010 should be repaired for free for free or a replacement camera should be provided. I have not been able to print 1 picture from my camera properly. SHAME on you OLYMPUS. THE ONLY THIGH TOUGH ABOUT THIS CAMERA IS GETTING OLYMPUS TO ADMIT THEY ARE FAULT AND REPAIR OR REPLACE THEM.

To Darlene,

Do what you have to do but I won’t go anywhere near 1ft of water with my Olympus! Hundreds of dollars and nothing but excuses and blaming me like I was a freakin retard later. Can’t wait to never have to deal with them or be made out to be a total idiot again! The image quality is crap, the service is worse, the camera doesn’t do what it ways it would do ..

Panasonic on the other hand. Haven’t had a problem with them since I bought another one (whilst also paying yet again for the Olymus to get fixed… luck for that money tree growing in the back yard). Panasonic camera is wonderful in every way so far!

Underwater Cameras are useful nowadays because people are often go to beaches and take some pictures. As a suggestion for the manufacturers of the underwater camera, the image quality needs some repair or revisions because as far as i see the image quality of those cameras had still in the poor quality. The image quality should be in the excellent rate like the Digital cameras in the market today, High quality of image they could capture. and they should install blue-tooth software so that it is easy to share photos…..
