However, the first time I took it in the water (a swimming pool), it leaked and died. Being past the 1-year warrantee, I could do nothing but replace it. The videos are very useful for stroke correction. Buy this camera if you need a camera to take with you on vacations that you don't need to worry about getting wet. A major reason, the major reason I bought it instead of another standard point and shoot was for the ruggedized features: shock and water proof to 16 feet. As a standard around the house camera it worked fine. The night pictures are pretty good also, but you have to be sure to turn off the flash manually sometimes, otherwise you can't see anything. One thing that I do have to warn about though is that pictures always look blurry on the camera screen, so at first you might want to take a few pictures of the same thing, but I promise that they always turn out great when viewing on a larger screen. The 720p HD video looks awesome, especially on your HD TV. No issues with this camera.

Picture quality is great. Pictures look 100 times better on a computer screen rather than the small 2.7 inch screen. The Stylus tough 6020 really lives up to its name. I'm a fishing guide in New York state and in the late fall and winter months it's the only camera you can use do to the colder weather.

This camera is completely waterproof as long as you keep the battery encasement dry and closed (and it has a lock for safety). I was worried about this at first but soon felt comfortable that it wouldn't be ruined if I go snorkeling with it. I have not had a chance to see if it is waterproof or not after the repair. Does what it's built to do.

The third setting is holding the button down and it will continuous shoot photos. In coastal regions, any non-clear water will almost ruin any pictures used with flash. Zooming doesn't really help for the above reasons.

After the third snorkeling session (camera no deeper than arm's length below the surface) and probably no more than 90 minutes in the water, the Olympus Stylus Tough 6020 camera died. Screen just flashes on and off. When using the camera underwater in the pool, along with outside the pool the camera took great pictures. The camera has a lot of settings to choose from to make sure you are taking a good picture.

The camera is the slowest when taking multiple pictures in a row with the flash. The flash does take some time to recharge, but I don't think this is a big issue. At close out last year prices an adequate choice. As a point and shoot for normal conditions, look elsewhere.
