Product Description
Taking toughness to the next level The 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 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 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.

3 out of 5 stars Loved it at first, until it went wrong   September 12, 2008

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 a good retailer incase you have a problem... (and definitely avoid Simply Electronics - shocking customer service).



4 out of 5 stars MOVIE MODE: IMPORTANT INFORMATION   September 12, 2008

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 part, all it would have taken was a little disclaimer in the advertising material. Come on guys is that too much to ask?

Other than that i still think this a great little camera.
