Take a look at the Olympus Stylus 1030 SW
Olympus has introduced another tough digital camera with its Stylus 1030SW. They claim it can handle a drop from 6.6 feet, a dunk in water 33 feet deep, temperatures as low as 14 degrees Fahrenheit, and crushing weight of up to 220 pounds. The 10.1-megapixel 1030SW improves upon its predecessor, the 770SW, with increased shock absorption capabilities, more resolution, a slightly larger LCD screen, and a longer 3.6x optical zoom lens. It will retail for $399 when it goes to market in March or April.
 
We checked out the Stylus 1030SW on the trade show floor at the 2008 Photo Marketing Association show in Las Vegas. We couldn’t dunk it in a 33-foot tank or stick it in a 14-degree freezer on the show floor, but we did get to handle it and play with its features for a few hours. Read on to find out if this is the camera for your next trip to Everest.
