Olympus Stylus 1030 SW

Digital Camera Review

Aug 08, 2008 - By Steve Morgenstern
1.9 The Olympus Stylus 1030 SW is tough. The company claims it will shoot 33 feet underwater, withstand temperatures down to 14 degrees, survive a 6.6-foot drop and 220 pounds of pressure. But can it handle weddings and laughing children as well as snorkeling trips and snowboarding runs? To find out, why we put the dauntless 10.1-megapixel 1030 SW through our harrowing laboratory testing. And the result? Features and controls are limited, and you'll find roughly equivalent photo quality in less expensive cameras. If imperviousness to the elements is worth a premium price, though, the 1030SW can certainly shoot in comfy environments with reasonable, if not spectacular results. For details, read the complete review.
