Pros Ease of use, features, picture quality, waterproof, shockproof
Cons Proprietary battery, proprietary USB cable, battery life
Recommended it? No

We got an Olympus Stylus for my son's birthday last year and he really liked it a lot.  I liked it too from the times I got to use it.  To alleviate my electronic-gadget-envy, my wife got me an Olympus Stylus for my birthday this year. 

I have a love-hate relationship with this... Read full review »

Olympus - Stylus Tough 1030 SW Digital Camera

Pros Great picture, great video quality, long battery life, seems to be unbreakable
Cons Paid $399 for mine, ouch!
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this digital camera for my husband, who works as a comercial diver in the gulf of mexico. I figured he needed something practically unbreakable and definitely water-resistant. It was pricey, but considering his last camera lasted a few months, it was well worth it. He has had this one for... Read full review »

Finally a camera I don't have to worry about!!

bytaralr Nov 7, 2008
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Truly rugged, waterPROOF, awesome pictures, great video & sound!
Cons none!!
Recommended it? Yes

Wow! Awesome camera! I have three small children, and this is the answer for me. I found that I wasn't taking as many pictures as I used to before I had kids, because I was nervous of having my SLR out around the kids. Now with this camera, I can give THEM the camera to 'play' with and take... Read full review »

Pros rugged, waterproof, easy to use, great design, wide-angle lens
Cons pricey, no AC connection, no optical viewfinder, average pictures for price, sinks like a...
Recommended it? Yes

The Olympus 1030 SW is a great point-and-shoot, but I am serious about my photography. Or at least as serious as point-and-shoot goes. My very first digital camera was the HP R707 and it performed so well that I thought digital cameras could only get better. It had an LCD display and an optical... Read full review »

Disappointing

byfairban1234 Sep 8, 2009
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Waterproof sometimes
Cons Quality of photos, waterproof consistency
Recommended it? No

When I first bought this camera, the focus was off. I thought it was me at first since I was used to Canon cameras, but I even placed the camera on a tripod and photographed a still life. Still out of focus. I sent the camera to Olympus for repair and received it back in working condition in a few... Read full review »

Great Features, Fair Picture Quality, Water Proof Not 100% Reliable

byjohnchitown Aug 4, 2008
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros SW line is the Only Affordable Water Proof line available.
Cons WaterProof system works but not reliable.
Recommended it? Yes

This camera is capable of great quality pictures but under limited circumstances.

It does everything a good quality P&S Digital does but at a price premium.

That premium is paid to get the Water Proof (to 33') feature.

This is the reason I am writing this review. The... Read full review »

Pros Many features<br>TOUGH CAMERA!!!<br>Good photo quality<br>User friendly
Cons Depth of 30 feet is too shallow<br>Terrible included photo editing software
Recommended it? Yes

This is an awesome, take-anywhere, sort of camera. It is amazingly tough, aesthetically pleasing, and takes very good pictures. It has countless features that range from iso settings, display, quality, panorama, shutter speed, frames per second, and much more. This is a must buy camera if not for... Read full review »

Olympus Stylus 1030w - A no go

bywsperry Jan 25, 2009
1 Helpfuls 2 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros A Great idea, good both above and below the water. 
Cons The cover doors do not lock, they just snap shut, a major design flaw.  
Recommended it? No

I really liked this camera from the start, it seemed perfect for shallow dives and snorkeling.  It does everything promised and more.  Then disaster struck, and the door came open underwater when I pulled it out of my swim suit pocket.  
The card door came open in my pocket while walking in the... Read full review »

Defect in sound recording

Pros The camera is a big improvement over the original 720SW.
Cons The sound recorder is defective.
Recommended it? Yes

The movie mode in the Stylus 1030SW has a defect in the recording of sound. A "popping" noise is recorded in the sound track. Olympus is aware of the problem and promises a firmware fix by the end of Septmeber 2008.The higher the ISO, the poorer the picture quality.
The movement setting just... Read full review »
