    Yes it records videos.

    You have to use a Olympus XD M+ or H memory card to record at the best quality for the length of the card. You can record at 640×480 30 fps up to 18 minutes and 14 seconds on a 2GB XD M+ card.

    If you are using the included MicroSD to XD adapter you can only record at 640×480 30fps for 10 second clips. If you want to record lower on this adapter you have to lower the fps to 15 or switch to QVGA mode.

    Woulden’t the water get into the camera through the little holes in the speaker?

    If you want …
    If you want something purely for doing this, then go for a Creative Vado. If you need the underwater ability though, then this is good, but for video you need good visibility.

    Good review but I am also interested in the video/sound quality of this camera. Would you recommend it for shooting youtube videos?

    Amazing review Dave! I like how you show more than just the camera, you give the whole picture and all you get. Thanks for another great review!

    well i was just guessing that the picture would blur since, ya know, it was under water

  20. davomrmac Says:

    Hi there, as you …
    Hi there, as you can see from the images on the Geekanoids website (just under the review), the water does not blur the photo. This was in a well lit pool, so in the sea it might be a bit more murky, but the flash would help there. The performance of this camera for the price is amazing.

    but wouldn’t water blur the picture that you would be taking underwater?

    great review as always, I owned an Olympus awhile back and never had any complaints about it, so I can imagine not a whole lot has changed with the cameras they’ve produced since then… by the way, what video format does this camera shoot in, and is it iMovie compatible?
