POOR CAMERA FOR WATER USE
We purchased this camera in April and intended the use to be beach and ocean trips. The camera has never been more than 4 feet below the surface, however it leaks.

Great camera
I almost did not buy this camera because of the reviews of the camera not having sharp images. I wanted an underwater camera really bad, so I bought it anyways.

olympus tough 8000

I had this camera only one day. Took it in the pool, was leary because of the reviews, but thought It has to be waterproof….Olympus is advertising it as such.
