My camera is gone. It ran away. Far away I am guessing. I do not know why it ran away. I do not know who upset it. All I do know is it is gone. I am extremely sad. Like lay in bed and cry for a year sad. So the only solution I could come up with was to buy another. But of course mine was 2 years old so its "out dated". I found a newer version of mine I like but its Orange * gag me*  I hate the color orange. I want a pretty silver or blue or black camera. Not hideous orange. I guess it will take a bit of time for us to bond. It is an Olympus 850 Sw. I love the features I just am not sure I like the color.  The biggest this I love is the water proof and dropability. You can drop it from like 6 feet and it lives. With kids its a most awesome feature. The pics are good ones too.

I am not the only one who loves this camera. I found all good reviews on it. I knwo there has to be some bad ones someplace but to be honest I loved mine so it was a no brainer as to what to replace it with. Oh and the reason I got the ornage one?? It was last one and on clearance so I saved a lot of money on it hence why I was able to get a new one.
