Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Olympus Stylus Tough 6020 14MP Digital Camera with 5x Wide Angle Zoom and 2.7 inch LCD (Green)
Customer Review: Broke after 2 1/2 weeks!
Summary: 2 Stars
I love this camera, and its predecessor the Olympus 770 SW (which worked fine, but i lost it). However, after less than 3 weeks of use, it will turn on but then nothing else happens, and the power button has to be pressed twice to turn it off, because the first time the lens cover closes then opens again.
I have taken it kayaking near Washington DC, and it worked great, but the reason I bought it is for the marine biology field study program in Turks & Caicos, which is where I am right now. I used it snorkeling, always in less that 10 feet of water (its waterproof to 16 feet), and have been very conscientious about washing all the saltwater and sand off its exterior and lens, and have kept the battery and memory card closed at all times except when charging and uploading photos.
The camera worked fine, but after it ran out of batteries and I charged it a few days ago, the camera stopped working. All it will do is attempt to turn on (the screen flashes "olympus") but then the screen goes dark and appears on, but completely black, no menu, no image, nothing. None of the buttons do anything, pressing the zoom and shutter controls doesnt move the lens or take pictures, and it even has trouble turning off. I'm abroad for the next 3 weeks and now have no camera for field marine organism ID sessions and mesurements, or for personal photos for that matter, and can't do a damn thing about it until im back in the States.
I dont know if this is an electrical, software, physical or factory defect problem, but I've read a few reviews of olympus underwater and tough models having a similar problem, so I'm hoping I can at least get the camera fixed or repaired by olympus, but nothing can replace the photos I can't take now. I like the camera when its working, but now its just a $240.00 paperweight
ALSO it is not as scratch-resistant as it claims; my LCD has lots of tiny scratches, and the rim around the lens cover has started to chip away in some places; I wish I had a protective case or even an underwater case for it, but that defeats the purpose of this camera, doesnt it?
All in all, if I had to do it again, id get a normal camera with a waterproof case, or spring for the 8010 model, which seems more durable (though if this problem is internal or factory related, that wouldnt help me anyway)
