The Olympus brand is well known amongst both photographic enthusiasts and professionals all the way down to amateur photographers.
They make good quality cameras for everyone at price points that match.
Olympus also makes cameras that let you play and take pictures around water, and even underwater! They have a line of cameras that are waterproof.
Before you go thinking that you can grab an Olympus and start diving to take pictures of the deepest parts of the ocean you'll have to read the fine print.
A lot of commercial waterproof cameras are not meant for really deep diving.
They're rated for 5, 6, maybe 10 feet at most.
Anything deeper than that and the pressure might rupture the case and ruin the camera.
These cameras are still quite useful and fun for families and kids of all ages.
A great way to use them is when swimming at the pool.
Share the memories of your child's first time swimming or diving.
If you fancy pictures from greater depths, then you'll need to invest in a camera case.
These are specially made housings for cameras that encase it.
They are rated for higher pressures so they can go deeper.
I'm sure you've seen those nature programs where the scuba diver has this humungous camera.
That is most likely a camera in such a waterproof housing.
Fear not because most commercial housings will not be that big and bulky.
Those big ones are meant for professionals.
One good reason to consider a waterproof camera, or a waterproof case for your regular camera, is if you like to take pictures on boats, or the beach near waves, or in the fog and mist, or any place where watery splashes or mist can potentially ruin a normal camera.
Keeping water out of your camera is one way to ensure that it will last a long time and capture many more priceless moments.
