I needed to find a camera for my daughter's trip to Italy. I didn't want to spend a fortune on it if she ended up losing it, and I needed something sturdy and "tough". I had bought from Olympus in the past, so I decided to check their website to see what they had to offer. I was in luck! I found this model for sale (only approx. $150) This camera met all her travel needs - it is crushproof, waterproof, foolproof, and indestructible - yes, even for a teenage girl! It is compact, easy to use, has many awesome features, even a fully reticulating screen for selfies! Very happy with this purchase.
