Don't Fall for the Temptation
I bought this camera for my daughter to go to college with. I have had digital cameras since they first came out. Every child in my home has one and they have been reliable, until now.
I really liked this camera despite a few issues with image noise at higher ISOs. The weather resistance was especially enticing and the solid metal build of the camera was reassuring. Was I ever mistaken. The lens will fail to retract one day for you but will try to several times and then shut off with the lens still out. I sent mine in and the "tech" declared this to be "drop" damage and not eligible for warranty repair. After some discussion with customer service at the supervisor level, I was able to lower the cost of repair but not elimiate it. Now, two months later, the same problem has occurred again. I sent a message to Olympus about this and have heard nothing back from them.
My opinion? Olympus knows they have cheap components in this camera and refuse to acknowledge it because of liability. Shame on them for refusing to deal with me or even offer assistance. I even asked for a copy of the service manual so I could fix it myself since I am very handy that way. NO RESPONSE.
I have had many digital cameras in my home. We are not abusive with our cameras as I cannot stand irresponsibility in handling expensive items or other people's property. We have never had this happen in 10 years of owning digital cameras. My kids have grown up with them and are quite good at using them. Now this happens.
I've lost good money on this camera in it's less than one year of life and Olympus could care less.
Let me help you, be forewarned.

Olympus Stylus 1000
I'm a remodeling contractor in northern California and I document all my projects from start to finish. I record the before, during and after conditions. This record of what is existing, what is in the walls and ceiling and under the floor have saved me on more than one occasion. The quality of 10 Megapixel CCD and image stabilization make it easy to get the qaulity I'm looking for. The fact that the camera is small and light weight makes it easy to fit in the shirt pocket when I need both my hands of other things. The all-weather construction helps to keep the camera in good working order for when I need it. The Quick Time movie mode has been helpful on several occasions. Oh, and a termite can almost fill the photograph, and boy does that make for an interesting conversation with a homeowner. Keep up the good work.

War Survivor
This little camera is an absolute champ. I purchased one before deploying to Iraq. I disarm Bombs for a living, so this camera has been exposed to a lot of over-pressure. I've been involved in Two direct hits from IEDs and while other electronics in my vehicle (some issued by the Army) couldn't handle the concussion inducing shock this guy has.
Oh yeah and besides taking abuse it takes amazingly detailed pictures.

Great Camera but watch out for Beach Cameras
I love this camera it is the best. I have used other digital camera's and other brands and none compare to this one for me. the only time i have ever had a probelm is when the battery is running low then it takes longer to capture the image.
My warning is to watch what you buy from this vendor (Beach Camera's) they neglect to tell you that they ship via FED-EX and that they require a signature in order for you to receive the product and they are very unhelpful when you contact them.

Awesome pictures
Olympus Stylus 1000 works great for me--I feel like these people who wrote bad reviews must have had a totally different camera. I was thrilled with my pictures--only a few blurry ones early on. And you know right away and can retake the picture. I used this camera to document summer reading programs for a library--so lots of kids moving around--indoor pictures, outdoor pictures, low light levels in the museum--all pictures came out great. A number of the pictures were even printed in area newspapers. A higher optical zoom would have been nice but at 10 megapixels I could enlarge the pictures on the computer and practically show finger prints and still have a crystal clear image. I love it.
