Well with 4 kids we needed something tough. This is a great sturdy camera.
We are thinking of buying another on just for us! The camera is great, just that it didn't come with any real instructions, like most cameras do. I bought this camera before a trip to Europe for two weeks. The battery never lasted throughout the day. I read all of the reviews and no one mentioned the horrible sound quality. It sounds like the camera was under water.
This camera definitely has great optical quality. It's a very thin camera and the user interface is very easy to use and smart. The pictures have always turned out great, and the waterproof / shockproof casing on it makes it the perfect camera for a klutz like me. The 720p video is great also, with pretty good audio when played off a computer.
Great price and I like the color choice I made. Highly recommend this camera for the adventurous.
So therein lies the problem. The picture quality is average at best. We sent it back for repair and they replaced it. We just took it to the beach and AGAIN the battery compartment filled with water. I was excited to try it. I received my package in 2 days (love Amazon Prime!) but I have to be honest, I immediately wanted to return it. Managed to pick it out with a fine wire and it is still working OK. Not a good design. At least Amazon let me return it! Bought a 6020 while on a cruise ship "it was the best they had". The camera leaked. Luckily I purchased black tie protection on it from Best Buy so I don't anticipate any problems with repair or return. But now I am stuck on vacation without an underwater camera. I'll be posting some pictures that I took with this camera, so that you can see the quality yourself. Back in 2006 I started carrying one of the original Olympus Tough 7 MP cameras with me in Iraq.

This does the job of both of my previous cameras, plus adds underwater options, all while taking up a quarter of the space. landscape gravel.
