Product Description:
Taking toughness to the next level The µ 1030 SW is shockproof to 2m****, waterproof to 10m***, freezeproof to -10°C and also crushproof to an astounding 100kg**! No other camera is this tough. Even its metal exterior is scratchproof. Available in a choice of Platinum Silver, Midnight Black and British Green, the µ 1030 SW is always ready for action. This models 3.6x wide optical zoom (equiv. to 28-102mm) uses an inner-folded optical path to protect the lens during high action shooting. A 10.1 Megapixel sensor delivers detailed images, while an extra large 2.7/6.9cm HyperCrystal II LCD provides a wide viewing angle and a bright view - even in direct sunlight. Integrated Digital Image Stabilisation counters the effect of blur caused by shakes. Face Detection Technology ensures human subjects are optimally exposed and in focus. Meanwhile, Shadow Adjustment Technology all but eradicates the problem of shadowy images. And significantly improving low light performance is BrightCapture Technology. Furthermore, integration of the TurePic III image processing engine enhances performance in terms of speed, colour reproduction and noise suppression to return more realistic images. Operation is intuitive and with menus available in 38 languages the µ 1030 SW is almost certain to speak your language. For shooting underwater beyond this cameras native limit of 10m, the PT-043 underwater case is also available optionally which extends the maximum depth to 40m.

- Olympus mju 1030SW.. buy something else.
I restore classic cars and needed a tough camera for recording my work and taking photos for reference, one that could stand up to the harsh conditions of a hot, dusty workshop.
The 1030SW sounded perfect and it was a little more than i wanted to pay but chose it because of it's "tough" claims.
On day one without even using the camera it picked up a few scratches...not a problem but a bit surprising for a camera that is supposed to be able to take a bit of abuse. A week later the battery failed..this was replaced by the supplier but a battery should last longer than a week.
My biggest problem is the picture quality..it's on parr with a £39.99 camera. I have tried every setting and the pictures are grainey, have no depth and ... Read More:

- Loved it at first, until it went wrong
I bought this camera to take on honeymoon to the Maldives, and at first was totally blown away by it, the number of different functions it has (different light settings etc) are great for holiday photos, and we got some brilliant underwater shots. After 10 days though I started getting error messages saying that there was water in the card slot, and that the cover wasn't closed, although it was. About 3 hours later the camera died totally, despite having only been used to depths of about 1 metre while snorkelling.

I have returned it for repair, but the company I bought it from (Simply Electronics) have now had it for 2 months so I have no idea if it is just a faulty model or isn't fit for purpose. I'd like another one, but buy from ... Read More:

- MOVIE MODE: IMPORTANT INFORMATION
I just recieved mine the other day and so far it feels like great little bit of kit. But i think thier is one thing that people need to bear in mind that i didnt realise till after i recieved the camera.

The hi Quality 30 fps movie mode (which is one of the feature i plan to use alot) Is limited to 10 sec rec time UNLESS you update the firmware to ver 1.1 AND you have to use a Type M+ XD card, if like me, you didnt realise this and bought a standerd Type M XD card (or indeed any of the Micro SD cards) your out of luck. everything else works fine but no Hi Quality movie fun for you. Im now haveing to go through the hassle of returning the card i bought so i can replace it with a Type M+.

Its a bit of a poor show on Olympuses ... Read More:

- It would be great if it worked
The first one I bought back in April for my daughters 18th. However, it went straight back as all pictures displayed the same mark. The replacement was sent straight away and seemed fine until it was taken to the beach where after a dip in the water it packed up.
This was particularily annoying as we were due on holiday a week later to go snorkeling. So we bought another one. It was fantastic for three days then filled up with water. Thus I am sending two faulty cameras back as we speak.
Then to cap it all a friend who had also bought one told us that after three days of snorkeling his filed up with water.
So either we are very unlucky (4 out of 4 ) failing or frankly this product just isn`t fit for purpose. Shame, because when it works ... Read More:

- Olympus 1030SW - it may be waterproof but...
Well, I got mine this morning and it's on it's way back to Amazon tomorrow.

The camera is very well built, it looks and feels the business. I would recommend getting one in black or in green otherwise there's just too much silver going on.

This camera has it's obvious plus points which I won't go into - it's waterproof, there you have it.

I have a lot of pro SLR equipment, so thought that there was little point in trying to get a compact that might try to compete with them on image quality...so instead I thought that a robust compact would be the way forward, something that I could take with me anywhere and not have to worry about if I dropped it.

For this benefit I was prepared to take a hit on the ... Read More:
