The price seems to be drive by the tough features vs quality of pictures and video. I purchased this camera for a trip to the Caribbean. I had bought this camera to replace my Olympus Stylus Tough-8000 that died after a beach vacation. I expected to love this camera just as much as the previous one, but I'm not quite as fond of it. What is the real difference between; "Automatically optimizes the camera's settings based on the shooting situation" and "The camera is set automatically based on the scene." There are 11 scene modes and 21 sub-scene modes. The few problems I have run into are: Won't center focus to take a picture and flashes a red box instead of green, warning that if you take the picture it won't be in focus. I have run into this twice, but I just turned the camera off then back on and the picture took just fine of the exact same subject I was originally trying to focus on.
This does the job of both of my previous cameras, plus adds underwater options, all while taking up a quarter of the space. The only thing I would change is the delay before it takes the video or picture.
Panorama was difficult to make work right. It is only a mediocre camera. I really enjoy how this camera works, very pleased. This camera rocks! The best feature I have used so far is the panoramic view and how easy it is to use and how it leaves part of the last frame on there so you can line it up just right. I have also used it in low light and I amazed with how well it captured the bon fire and we could still see all the faces of the people around the fire as well.
Having lost my last Stylus Tough, I upgraded to this model. While, I still think it is a good niche product, the startup time is terrible, and it does appear to take much longer to focus and snap pictures.
The picture is pretty good (see other more technical reviews for picture quality). It's not like even a low end DSLR, but for its use its likely good enough. I haven't yet, as I decided to see if it will grow on me. To be fair, I am using my old Olympus as a baseline, so others may not have the same expectations. I bought this camera to take on a trip to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park. Our itinerary included lots of hiking, kayaking and just outdoor activities in general.
I have not had a chance to see if it is waterproof or not after the repair. Does what it's built to do.
All of my photos taken with the 6020 are perfect, unless I do something wrong. Read the directions and anyone who buys this great little camera will love it and have great success with sharp, clean, well colored photos!

The old version used a smaller version which meant I couldn't swap them out with other cameras (yes, we own several different digital cameras.) The camera is pretty great. gloss white coffee table.
