Was looking for a new waterproof camera and had info all over the desk at work

Had been comparing them instead of gopro et all... Someone must have looked because They bought one and dropped it off in my office. Don't know who but thank you! 

Sweet! That is on my wish list but I haven't done any research. What kind did you get?

DOES NOT float... used it tonight... Fast easy to use,,, will shoot vid tomorrow and see how it does...

Olympus is a good name. Not a bad price. I'll have to start dropping hints for my Bday.   

Put a float on it. Not the kind that has a quick release snap. Those release when you don't want them to. I just use a small piece of pool noodle.

I've got one of these, it works well on my Fujifilm camera -

I had an older one and it's working great for 2+ years!

Olympus makes a floaty strap for the tough cameras:

I got one at Best Buy.

The Olympus Tough cameras are AWESOME ! In addition to a GoPro, I have the Olympus T-820 model (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B007J7J120/ref=mp_s_a_1_8?qid=1398306382&sr=8-8&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70) and love it. The simplicity of the GoPro is great, but if you want really high quality pictures/video, some cool shooting/scene features, and a very rugged body, the Tough models are great.

Thanks for the info about the float as well - I'm ordering it right now. Much better than the clips and cables or odd pool noodle setup I had going. Very nice.

They also make cheap screen protectors that, given the rigors that these cameras often get put through, are a lifesaver in keeping the display screen clean amd scratch free. I put a nice scratch in mine before getting clued into the protectors and have been kicking myself ever since. A cheap investment to keep your camera in top condition.
