It's also the most innovative Stylus to date, boasting Digital Image Stabilization for clear, steady results, Bright Capture Technology for great low light shooting, and an improved built-in autoset Help Guide to make choosing the perfect shooting mode an absolute cinch.Put an end to the disappointment you experience when you find your images blurry. Shoot with Digital Image Stabilization Mode for clear results every time, or retouch with Digital Image Stabilization Edit. The built-in gyro sensor detects camera shakes for each shot and lets you fix the blurred images right in the camera at the touch of a button. You can easily decide when and where to take pictures. Its all-weather seals and gaskets protect the body of this camera so you can shoot at your discretion; come rain or shine. Why limit yourself to taking clear, bright pictures only half the time when you can take them day and night, in light or dark with our exclusive Bright Capture Technology.

With the 24 shooting modes provided there's practically no situation where the Stylus 810 will fail to perform. This means you can capture amazing photos at sporting events, in a museum, of fireworCustomer reviews
It's an okay camera 
The reviews for this are good, but I am not to happy with my camera. I did have a Fugi finepix camera before the Olympus and the pics were great! The camera broke so I decided to try this one. The pics aren't as good as my other one so I would only give this one a 3 star.
I am picky about my pictures. I like the objects to be centered and showing detail. A lot of times when I take a picture with this camera it turns out blurry. You are supppsed to focus on the image you want take and push the button down halfway so the camera will focus then take the pic. A lot of times I just want the pic so I just point and shoot, so it turns out blury. A lot people probably would not notice this. If you try and blow the picture up and print it out, that's when you can tell.
This also doesn't have the little eye piece you can look into. Just a big screen on the back. That doesn't bother me unless I am trying to take a picture outdoors on a really bright sunny day. It's hard to see the screen if it's to bright outside.
The video quality is horrible too. Very grainy and hard to see.
They say you can use the digital zoom, but when you try to, the pic isn't very clear. If you are just starting out taking pictures then go for this camera. If you are into pictures and want better quality, I would go with something else.
Perfect Traveling Companion... 
This camera has met my expectations in so many ways. I should note I never really wanted to start looking for a new camera when I started looking for this one, but a camping trip (where I actually stored my camera in the tent!) sent my Canon to its grave. This was the second digital camera I'd lost to outdoor exposure. No more. I'm now a loyal Olympus fan.
Thus far, my Olympus has been through the rain and cloud forests of Costa Rica, through several feet of freshly falling snow in Romania, and on many a camping trip and trail. And I'm just as happy with it as day one.
The images are crip and clear, it fits perfectly in my jean pockets, and I like the fact that the lens withdraws within the camera to avoid scratches. Battery life has been outstanding. It seems to be such an issue with so many electronic devices, but I've found that I can take hundreds of pictures with my 810 without a hitch. Now that I think about it, on my recent trip to Romania, I was snapping away with the camera without an electric converter or spare battery and never ran out of batteries over my 11 days.
At first I was a little disappointed that I couldn't find a weatherproof camera with a viewfinder, but I've become very used to the LCD digital display as of late, and it hasn't proven a problem.
If there is one thing that I would like to change about this camera, it's the curved edges. Sure, they look good. But say you want to take vertically-oriented image in the middle of the night? You can't set the camera on a level surface with the curves edges on the sides (and you can't hold it in your hands, or the image will blur due to the long exposure), though you can shoot horizontally. I guess I could get a tripod, but this is a point-and-shoot camera...
And if the worst I can do is to complain about a camera's ability to shoot a particular orientation in the middle of the night...not bad, right?
Olympus Stylus 810
This camera got great reviews in Consumer Reports, and I'm sure it's perfect for some, but it's far too slow to get good pictures of active kids. The "weatherproof" feature would've been nice, but I exchanged it for something faster.
WONDERFUL CAMERA
This is a great little camera, I use it at work all the time! It takes great pictures!
BEAUTIFUL PICTURES
I think this camera is absolutely amazing. It takes wonderful pictures-I could not be happier. I got this camera to use on a trip to Mexico in early March. It is the perfect size, and extremely easy to use. With it being all weather proof, I was excited to bring my camera to the beach and the pool and not have to worry about the smallest bit of water ruining my camera.
All the different photo options that you have, makes it impossible not to get the right shot. Settings for beach/snow and portrait were perfect for taking pictures with my friends at the beach-obvioulsy, but they also allowed me to get some really gorgeous sceneic shots that will be a great addition to my portfolio.
Also, the camera makes it SUPER easy to organize and retreive your photos. I especially like the calendar feature which allows you to find pictures according to the day you took them-which was perfect for ordering my pictures after vacation. I am photo organization freak, and this made it that much easier!
I will say that it is extremely hard to see the LCD screen in bright sunlight. However, I bought some protectors that you just place right over the screen, and it is perfect. Some people may see this aspect of a deal breaker, but not me.
I think that anyone would be truly happy with this camera!
