I too have an Olympus. Its the Stylus 1050. The real reason I got it was it was new and $130 on Ebay (shipped overnight from the Wynn Casino in Vegas, rather sketchy but that is Ebay).
It is also shock proof and waterproof. The pictures tend to be overexposed all the time. I have tried every setting and the only one that seems to take a decent picture is the underwater function, even when not underwater.
The camera takes a good 10 seconds to start up once you turn it on. So there is no chance of getting that candid moment or a picture of some quick moving object or funny moment. The battery lasts a long time and it can take a beating. I only use it when wet wading. Other than that its not worth the overesposed pictures. I've tried to play with the exposure meetering etc. I used to have a Cannon Powershot that took phenomenal pictures on any setting. I wish that was in the waterproof model.
I thought I had lost the camera after a trip out west. I was about to start researching a new camera to replace. I was quite disappointed when I found my camera in the bottom of a pair of boots :(
Take a look at a recent review by the folks at Moldy Chum http://www.moldychum.com/home-old/tag/digital-camera-reviews
Last note, be sure to have it on a lanyard of some sorts attached to you. I had one digi camera stolen out of my pocket at Madison Square Garden when someone pulled the lanyard hanging out of my pocket. The next camera was dropped in the Yellow Breeches by my friend. The Cannon above took a bath when I got hit by a wave in my kayak. I've had bad luck with cameras.

I have an Olympus Stylus Touch 6000. I like it a lot. Water proof,
Shock proof, it's small and good resolution.
