The Olympus Stylus 550WP is a compact 10MP point-and-shoot from the late 2000s, built to survive water and knocks. It is waterproof to about 10 feet, has a 3x optical zoom, a 2.5-inch LCD and records video, all in a 4.5 oz body. It suits casual shooters who want a cheap camera for the beach, pool or boat rather than image quality. Against newer rugged compacts it is slow and dated, and its CCD sensor and small screen show their age, but few rivals at its level are as pocketable and worry-free around water.
