Is this camera waterproof?

Loralai - no, it is not waterproof. I am quite happy with the camera, however.

I purchased these cameras for a birthday party. I was not concerned if they were waterproof. Perhaps the manufacturer can give you the information you are looking for.

It is water and weather resistant, not meant to be submerged for underwater use. Pentax also carries a waterproof line of cameras, the WG line

It is definitely not water PROOF, in that you can't submerse it without the underwater case, which I bought and is awesome by the way. The camera is pretty water resistant though. I got caught in the rain a few times riding my bike and it got pretty wet and continued to record.

It's not waterproof but it should be ok under a roof. The video is somewhat grainy so if you're wanting clear video you may want to look at a higher quality camera. It is ok for what we need.

The camera does not appear to be waterproof. I would not suggest something outside.

I can't help you with this. my camera has always been & will be used only under dry conditions. Nothing in the Specs says that this model is waterproof. dust sealing against its sensor might be an official feature that is YET to be tested. you might want a leather half case to give it more grip. Presumingly, it is not sealed against waterfalls. Good luck

The unit is water SEALED, not water PROOF. Further, many of the OlyPana lenses aren't weather sealed at all. I used mine extensively in rough weather and kayaking. It has been splashed and sprinkled on without issue. But if you fall in the water and submerge the camera, both camera and lens are going to be toast. Don't let this discourage you from taking it with you, just be aware of the devices limitations. There are many waterproof digital cams out there, but I know of no m43 or DSLR's that are.

The camera is waterproof, I used it while snorkeling in about 6 feet of water and it worked great taking some very good photos. For the price, you cannot beat it.

No it is not, an excellent camera, i have it outside for 2 years now under a roof bezel, so water doesnt really get to it. It works to this day 100% perfect. I have bought 3 more since.

I believe that the camera can be used under water, BUT it has to be in a waterproof case. I am not sure how this "feature" makes it different from any other camera, but that is my understanding

no. This case is not water proof. It is completely exposed all around. There is a hole for the camera. I would not recommend taking this case underwater.

The switch end of the camera has a removable waterproof cover, and the rest of the camera body is a sealed unit. So while it may not be waterproof, it IS rainproof.

I don't know, but I wouldn't buy the camera in the first place. It claims to be waterproof, but within the first 30 seconds in the water there was water inside the screen and lens and the camera was dead.

Not officially. I would be careful with it in the weather. Overall I think its a great camera, I've been using one for 5 years (my review is somewhere on here) and continue to be very pleased with the results.

Yes, it is waterproof. However, it snaps a lot of nothing shots. The battery compartment got a bunch of some type of bugs in it while out in the woods.

The camera isn't waterproof. I think it's if you purchase one of those underwater cases.
