Remember the Essentials

Sufficient memory is not included. Don't get caught without memory, get a high-capacity memory card.

Neither wind, nor rain, nor sleet, nor dead of night shall keep the Olympus Stylus Water 550WP from its appointed duties. It's built to survive, nay- thrive amidst the rough-and-tumble active lifestyle of today's outdoor enthusiasts.

While the splashtastic Water 550WP sheds water like a duck, and it is ready for your next aquatic experience, - please keep in mind that we're not talking about Jules Verne-ish depths here. It's rated for 10' - swimming pools, tidal pools, bath tubs, rainy/snowy/sleety days, etc.

The 550WP's sumptuous offering of easy-to-use controls and features brings a new-found ease to the technically challenged set, while offering the more initiated a bounty of unique refinements and technological advancements; Face Detection, Image Stabilization, Perfect Fix, and Intelligent Auto modes are on-tap and ready to roll with a push of a button. Hey, it's smaller than a 3x5 card, thinner than the instruction book for your DVD player, and it only weighs 4.5 ounces - the 550WP is a perfect take-along camera wherever your day takes you.

High resolution 10MP CCD produces superior image quality - create large prints without losing a single detail

6.7 - 20.1mm lens (38 - 114mm equivalent in 35mm format) delivers a 3x optical zoom that brings you closer to the subject without having to take a step
2.5" LCD Screen
The 2.5" high-resolution LCD provides easy shooting and sharing of your images with friends and family
Waterproof
