Product Description
The Olympus Stylus 830 8-Megapixel Digital Camera has an ultra-compact lens that is made from precision-crafted glass to get you closer to your subject. Sensor-Shift Image Stabilization and Digital Image Stabilization are combined to capture crisp, clear images in any situation. All-Weather protection means your camera is resistant to water sprays, splashes and the elements for worry-free shooting anytime, anywhere. 2.5" HyperCrystal LCD provides anti-glare technology and an extra-wide viewing angle that makes it easy to share photos with family and friends in bright, direct sunlight. TruePic III Image Processor was developed for the demanding performance of professional Digital SLR cameras to deliver superior images with true-to-life color, sharper detail and less noise. With the touch of a button, Perfect Fix will lighten up shadows, remove red-eye and eliminate blur, so a less-than-perfect shot can still turn out perfect.

5 out of 5 stars Great Overall Camera   August 17, 2008
Missy
This camera is a great balance of high quality pictures, zoom, price, size, and durability. As seen in the pics at Disneyland and California Adventures, it takes excellent pictures that capture sharp details. The camera also suffered a drop during this trip, and the fall didn't phase it at all. Another selling point for me was that it's weather-proof and that a rechargeable battery is included. You don't have to worry about precipitation spoiling the camera or buying batteries/rechargeable battery kit. The only downside to this camera was that I had to buy the memory card separately (but that would have had to happen with any other camera, as I found in my research - I recommend the 2GB...nearly 500 pics on super high quality!). This camera is the total package and I highly recommend it!


5 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT COMPACT DIGITAL   July 13, 2008
J. P. Armentano (USA)
Ok i read reviews about this product and the nikon cool pix. I own a large SLR Nikon D80. I ave shot with a small canon powershot for years. I started in manual 35 mm. This camera is great. I was happy for years with the photo quality of my Canon , as well with their software and support. It was an early model and slow. I am learning my big Nikon D80 and for its money i am sure it can do loads of brilliant things, still not terribly active with it and disappointed in Nikons Web support and image quality sometimes. As i said it may be i haven't unlocked its potential but small reservations along with reviews led me to be suspect of going with Nikon on my new compact digital. A friend suggested olympus, i saw some of her photos from a very basic and older model and the color was amazing...stil hesitant to go with a manufacture i never handled, the reviews seemed positive and the photos i had seen were proof. I bought this model and almost everything is perfect. -
It SHoots very large format photos for later processing.
-Adjusts quickly,
-the flash photograpy retains the color you were looking for in the first place
- preset modes, menus and choices are fully functional and usable as tools.
-enough manual adjustment and preview mode to real have some flexibility in creating the right look in the photo.
-menu was easy to learn
-though i have photoshop, its own software program seems very straight forward and functional.
-movie mode
-panorama
-they don't really explain enough about it various features and settings in the product description.
Cons are:
it only has the digital viewer, no physical view finder. ie you find yourself shading it in bright light to see what you are trying to photo. not a problem for me though, everything else is too nice
-as well they use the their own media type exclusive to Olympus. I got over that too!
Great buy you won't be disappointed

The Olympus Stylus 830 is the best camera I have ever used. It even shoots under water. Amazing. I shoot in all types of weather without a problem.
