Yes, I checked out the camera. They say it is water resistant, not waterproof and resolution is only 3.2 megs. Not really that great if you want quality pictures.

I just purchased a waterproof housing for my Olympus 5050. I paid less than $150, and while bulkier than a water resistant camera, it is good to 130 feet and has all the functions of the camera accessible through the housing. In addition, it floats unless the included weight is attached. Olympus has inexpensive housing for most of their digitals. cu *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
