Don't take it too deep
I recently used this housing in Bonaire and got some decent shots, though nothing that would come close to photos taken by a real underwater camera. The best shots can usually be had at shallower depths where the colors are more brilliant and less filtered. Also, on my last dive where my max depth was 55 feet and the temp was 79 degrees, the lense on the case fogged up when I returned to shallower depths (around 20 ft.). There was no damage to the camera, but I lost some great shots during the last 10 minutes of the dive.

Lastly, be aware that although users are advised to not open and close the case more than necessary, you will need to do so to change out and recharge the battery and/or memory card. I suggest using a 512MB or even a 1GB card, since they won't fill up as quickly and you won't drain the battery by reviewing and deleting the pics you don't.

Followed directions.Worked.No Leaks.
My wife and I both got one each and took them on 4 different snorkeling excursions while on a cruise.They worked well.The deepest I took mine was around 12 ft.My only complaint might be that the viewscreen can be tough to make out underwater sometimes but that is no fault of the case.Sometimes the fish just blend in to the background so it is hard to tell if you are lined up for the shot or not on the little screen.I just took lots of pictures to be safe. :)Using auto color correction in a photo editor really helps bring out colors in a lot of shots when they have that blue underwater hue.

Great for a non-diver
This is a great item to buy if you have one of the Canon Powershot cameras that fit this case. It is easy to load and and all of the buttons line up. So, all of the camera functions are still usable. The one trick to use it though under water is using the screen to compose your picture rather than a view finder. I was not wearing a mask, so I had to guess on my shots.

Instead of just pool shots of my kids, I plan on taking underwater pictures of the fish I catch this summer. I also plan on having my wife use the case when she goes to the beach. So, a shovel full of sand or a splash of salwater will not be a problem. I am not a diver, so I can't make a recommendation on this item for that specific use.

There is a trick to loading the camera into the case, but Canon's directions are simple and informative. So, despite the rather high price, anyone that has one of these cameras and would like to use it around water should have one of these cases.

Mine leaked and ruined my camera
After using the case on about 5 dives over the course of 11 months, it leaked.I read the instructions, followed all of the instructions carefully and it still leaked.And now my camera is ruined.I certainly learned my lesson and next time I will buy a specific underwater camera (but first I have to replace my digital camera that got ruined).

Works as advertised
Not much to say about this.It promises to keep the camera dry underwater, and has worked as advertised for me on several occassions.

Note: READ THE DIRECTIONS!!!The most important things to remember when using any underwater camera housing are

1) prepare the housing in a cool, air conditioned area,

2) make very sure that the rubber seal and surrounding area are free of hairs, sand, etc.,

3) DO NOT repeatedly open and close the housing after it has been prepared, and before you dive (snorkel, whatever).

Just be mindful of what you're doing, use some common sense, and this will work great. ... Read more

Pretty good but some problems
The SeaLife ReefMaster RC takes OK pictures but they came out rather blurry and grainy.My guess is that the flash is not strong enough.I went snorkeling with it in La Jolla, CA.It was a bright day with good visibility although never ideal conditions in this area.Perhaps if I was snorkeling in the Florida Keys - which I've done and got good pics with a Fuji one time use underwater camera.I guess in perfect conditions, any camera works well.I've also tried the Sea & Sea MX5-II with no extra external flash.It took better pictures but it looked like water was getting into the housing.The good thing about the Reefmaster RC is that it looks like it stays dry so less worry about that.One further con though is that you cannot turn the camera on/off from the outside of the housing.You must take the internal camera out.To get around this you can leave it always on - it has an automatic shutoff and then you push down the lever a little to activate the camera.Problem is I couldn't tell if the camera was on and took a few pictures of nothing by accident.I was worried the batteries would die as well.Also, the flash ready light is very hard to see.I might try an additional external flash but that means more $$. ...

Amazon.com Product Description

Carrying on the heritage of its film predecessor, the Olympus Stylus 400 is an ultracompact, all weather, and easy-to-use camera designed for the digital photography enthusiast looking for high performance in a stylish and portable body. It features a 4.0-megapixel resolution, 12x total zoom, and a movie mode for short video clips.

Optics and Resolution
Featuring a 4.0-megapixel CCD sensor, the Stylus 400 delivers images up to 2,272 x 1,704 pixels and prints up to 11 by 14 inches. A high-quality Olympus 3x optical zoom (and 4x digital zoom for a seamless 12x total) gives you the ability to fill your pictures with sharp detail and vibrant color. It features an Olympus aspherical glass lens with a focal range of 5.8-17.4mm (35-105mm equivalent in 35mm photography).

Storage and Transfer
Images are stored on xD Picture Card memory cards. The card's small size, about the same as a postage stamp, helps to keep the camera size down. The included 16 MB card will store approximately 16 images at 2,272 x 1,704 pixels (at HQ, JPEG setting). Images can be downloaded to either a Mac or PC via USB storage-class connectivity, which means the camera can be connected to any USB-based Windows 98 Rev2Me/2000/XP and Mac OS 8.6 or later computer without installing any software.

Movie Mode
In addition to taking still photos, the Stylus 400 can also record movie clips of up to 40 seconds without audio. The QuickTime Motion JPEG format offers limited resolution, which is great for capturing a short movie that can be e-mailed to friends and family, but is no replacement for a true camcorder.

More Features
The Stylus 400 offers basic point-and-shoot simplicity for flawless picture taking. For photographers who want optimum results in a wide variety of settings, the easy-to-use scene modes provide fully automatic exposure adjustments for portrait, self-portrait, and landscape portrait.

Other controls include digital ESP multipattern and spot metering, auto white balance, multiple flash settings, and exposure compensation. The camera comes with a built-in flash that offers four settings to provide the widest range of options.

The lightweight and ergonomic metal body of the Stylus 400 provides all-weather protection from the elements and can even endure a downpour.

Power, Size, and Contents
The camera is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. It measures 3.8 by 2.2 by 1.3 inches and weighs 5.8 ounces. This package includes the Stylus 400 digital camera, 16 MB xD Picture Card, rechargeable lithium-ion battery and charger (LI-10B), self-timer remote control (RM-2), USB and AV cables, wrist strap, and CD-ROM with Camedia Master software and USB drivers for Windows and Mac. ...

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY ! !
When I first bought this camera, I loved all the simple-to-follow features. It was lightweight, took clear pictures and was very simple to download. Everything someone looks for in a digital camera, right?. . . Wrong! After approx. 2 years of owning this camera, the sliding on/off "door" started to act up. When you open the "door"/turn it on and go to take a picture, it will retract and shut off on it's own. After a while it constantely did it to the point where taking pictures was a hastle. Now, I am seaching once again for a new digital camera and the $300 I paid for this camera (at the time) is wasted and thrown away. They should test cameras more thoroughly before putting them on the market for hard working buyers to select from.

My next camera, being that the expensive memory cards only are compatibale to Olympus and Fuji, may be the Olympus Stylus 500 5MP. It seems to have gotten very good reviews and I'm willing to give them a second chance but I am doing a bit more studying this time before spending my hard earned money!

Fantistic camera
My Husband and I found this camera to be great. It is also great for transferring into computer. I have been able to make a photostory with the pictures and download it to a CD, for the purposes of entertaining our family. The pictures are great and it is easy to understand how to operate. I'm not too good in understanding electronic gadgets, but I certainly picked this one up pretty fast. Sometimes, my husband will ask me how to operate the camera. Now, that's a switch :). He usually is the expert in cameras. I bought it for him for Father's day, in 2004, and it's been a fantastic camera. People have asked us where did we get it from. I let them know, we ordered it through amazon.com. I would recommmend this to all who are looking for a great digital camera.

Only one problem
I love this camera and have had it for a little over a year.My only complaint is that pictures taken by looking through the view finder come out slightly off center (while the monitor is accurate).I encountered this problem immediately after receiving the camera as a gift.After returning it, I encountered the same problem with the new camera.I wrote to Olympus and received no reply, which made the situation twice as aggravating.I love my camera and consider this problem a minor flaw, however I have likely made my last Olympus purchase.

BEWARE _ flimsy media door easily broken
the small peg on the media door
can't handle the "press to open"
action & (on my camera) broke after
maybe a dozen presses.

Disappointing image quality from Olympus
In our quest for the perfect digicam, we bought the Stylus 400 in February of 2004.The camera had a lot going for it: small, lightweight, quick start up time, short shot-to-shot lag time.The "weatherproof" feature was also big for us, we're tough on our stuff.We liked the all-metal body for durability, too.

After 10 months of using the camera, these features all lived up as advertised.It survived being dropped and wet or sandy conditions very well.

We purchased a spare battery and charger, and swapped them out every day so we always had a full charge on the camera.We NEVER ran out of charge on a battery.

The driverless USB connection allowed us to unload pictures FAST and very very easily.

Having a camera that could survive the abuse we heaped on it was important, but when it comes right down to it, if the pictures are NO GOOD, then what's the point?And on this the Stylus 400 REALLY disappointed us.Pictures taken without the flash were blurry, (unless under bright bright outdoor light).Pictures taken with the flash were blown out and the colors completely unnatural.And the flash is no good at all beyond about 6 feet.

Olympus is on the right track.Maybe someday they'll combine their quality optics with this sexy, sturdy camera body and they will have the PERFECT camera. But for what we paid (nearly $400 for camera, extra battery, charger, and 64M xD memory chip) it would have been nice to actually get decent pictures.

I don't buy the "if you want good pictures, spend more."I've had cheaper digital cameras that took MUCH better pictures.But they would break the first time I dropped them, then I'd have to duct tape the battery compartment closed or whatever.Or the shot lag was intolerable.Or they'd burn through AA batteries like candy.Good image quality does NOT have to be expensive.It is a darn shame that we can't get it all in one package. ...

Amazon.com Review

Five-megapixel resolution is quickly becoming the new standard for digital cameras. But these cameras are often bulky, heavy things to lug around. Enter the Olympus Camedia C-50, a svelte, lightweight image capturer with a fair amount of features.

The 3x optical zoom lens folds up inside the camera case with the covers sliding shut over it when not in use, making the camera's small metal frame easily pocketable. While the camera also uses the tiny XD media for storage, it only comes with a 32 MB card, barely enough to hold a dozen images at the highest resolution, so you'll want to stock up on storage (which is thankfully getting cheaper by the month).

Although only 1.5 inches in size, the bright LCD provides an accurate and easy to view image of framed shots before capture. The C-50 also offers an optical viewfinder for framing shots and saving on battery life.

Speaking of, the battery recharges quickly (averaging about two hours) and lasts for several hundred shots before needing a recharge. Even with the limited surface area, the well-placed dials and menu buttons are within easy reach when using the camera, making it a snap to utilize one of the camera's six different scene modes or five flash modes.

With its 5.0 megapixels, captured images offer incredible details and bright colors and can be printed at nearly poster size without any loss of resolution. The C-50 also captures short QuickTime movies, albeit without sound, small enough to be e-mailed to friends and family. Users of newer computers (both Windows and Mac) don't even need to install a driver to transfer images and movies to their system via the camera's USB cable.

The sticker price on the C-50 is still a bit hefty for a point-and-click compact camera, but not bad when you consider the potential of all those megapixels. --J. Curtis

Pros:

• Very compact
• High-quality images
• Long battery life

Cons:

• Only 32 MB memory card
• No sound in movie mode

Features

• Included 32 MB XD memory card holds 26 images at normal setting and 2560 pixel resolution
• Connects with PCs and Macs via USB port
• Uses 1 rechargeable Li-ion LI-10B battery (included)
• 5.0 megapixel sensor creates 2,560 x 1,920 images for prints at 11 x 14 and beyond
• 3x optical zoom and 4x digital zoom for 12x total

weak materials, warranty didn't cover damage
while i was happy with the picture quality, except for the
abundance of red-eye in photos, i had a reocurring problem
with the track of the cover chipping and causing the sliding
lens cover to loosen and even come off. this was a huge problem because the buttons that control the camera turning on and off are triggered by the sliding door and this is affected by the door being loose or coming off. this was considered
"damage due to rough handling" or something like that, so i
paid 180.00 to have it repaired only for it to happen again,
withing a couple months of the repair.
i never dropped it. i kept it in a case, so i am convinced
that the materials on the track that the cover slides on are
made of weak materials. i decided to live with it for a while
and finally gave up and bought a different camera.
the e-mail i sent to olympus customer service was handled with
a form letter with no answer to my specific questions.

camera would not download pictures
I bought this camera for my husband 2 years ago.Worked fine until recently would not download pictures. I ordered a new battery and it still didn't work.
A real dissapointment.
Would never recommend it.
Sorry

Olympus Camedia C-50 Zoom
This is a great little camera! Fits easily into a pocket or purse - I've carried it from desert to glacier and it has performed wonderfully. Terrific quality shots - just enough zoom - and very hard to damage when it is closed up. I'm buying a second one because mywife and I are always both trying to grab for the one we have. (Over a bigger, fancier, digital Nikon no less.) If you can get a good deal on one - buy it quick while they are still available!

don't buy it
A very powerful, versatile, and impressive little camera.For taking shots in conditions of plentiful light, this camera was hard to beat, at least when it came out (it's since been discontinued).When it hit the market, it was unquestionably the most powerful digital camera of its size.

There are problems, however:

1.On the little movies, there is no "sound" available.
2.You have to turn the camera off and close the cover to review the picture you just took!
3.This camera cannot take pictures in low lighting conditions at all.Not without the flash, at any rate.Starting from about the late afternoon on, this camera is all but useless for natural-looking shots.They'll be far too blurry; this is a constant annoyance.

Olympus recently came out with the C-60 Zoom, which is the new version of this camera.With that one, they have fixed problems 1 and 2 but not 3:still a major problem, but this is not the only brand of digital camera with this problem.

Also note:if you're replacing a c-50 with the new c-60, you'll be able to use your batteries, your battery charger, and your memory disks with the new version.But the cable that connects the camera to your USB port is slightly different, so you won't be able to use that.

Also, the C-60 can take memory cards of up to 512 MB!This is pretty impressive (on the highest-quality setting, for example, this will allow you to take about 120 picutres; on the lowest-quality setting, over 6200!), although that's a pretty expensive little card.With the C-50, coming out of the box the most it would take was a 256 MB card, unless you bodily sent the camera in to Olympus for a "firmware upgrade," which was free if you provided proof that you had bought a 512 MB card.This is not necessary with the C-60.

Reliability issues, spotty warranty support
I purchased the C50z from Fry's and it worked fine for a while.The 5 MP produces very vivid images. However after 9 months photos taken with this camera produced a white line that ran vertically in the middle of each picture.Olympus support agreed to fix it underthe 1 year warranty.However as this camera belonged to my company I had it professionally packed and sent via DHL to Olympus's repair depot in California. A month later Olympus sent me a terse note stating that the camera had "UPPER CORNERS DENTED. WARRANTY INVALID DUE TO IMPACT DAMAGE".They demanded $150 to fix it "out of warranty". The fact that I oversaw the packaging myself and saw not a scratch makes me suspect that either DHL or Olympus employees damaged it in transit and both company disavowed any responsibility. Though I personally use an Olympus still camera for the last 10 years and have had good experiences with it, I must say that the current level of quality/control and warranty support leads me to believe that quality has dropped considerably on Olympus products in the last few years.Their support dept seems more interesting selling people newer models or billable repair than in providing actual post sales service. ...
