 I love having a compact, on the go, rugged, waterproof camera that can take movies, and print posters. October 16, 2008
Ms. Deborah S. Eidson (Austin, Tx)
This is my 3rd digital camera and the best one yet. I love it! I have had it for 3 months and already dropped it over 6 feet, left it out in the rain and hot sun, banged it around hiking and climbing, shot under water photos, taken spur of the moment action photos, day and night, cloudy and sunny, interior room photos, landscapes, close ups, macro, portrait, panorama, made movies, and made web page pictures, photos of art collection, as well as photographs to hang in an art show.
It is so easy to use, compact, durable, rugged, waterproof and makes great pictures that can be blown up to poster size. The macro settings are very good, and the wide angle is a plus. The underwater settings are great for use day and night. The LCD is big and bright and easy to use without glasses, the buttons and menus are laid out and designed in a manner that is intuitive making it very user friendly.
Most of my photography is of paranormal phenomena and at night. My pictures are very detailed not too much noise or grain. I have printed up large 13" x 19" photos that are exquisite in detail and color. I haven't even explored all of the features yet. One is the built in LCD light, shadow adjustment, shoot and select, and there are many more hidden goodies.
When researching cameras, I thought that not having manual control was going to be a compromise. Wanting a wide angle lens was a priority for me, big and bright LCD, another was ease of operation for spur of the moment photos. Having many SLR cameras, carting around extra lenses, batteries, flash, and etc., and making sure to have the right setting was time consuming, cumbersome and burdensome, and felt like work. Put it in your purse, pocket, bathing suit, so easy to carry, turn it on, dial in a scene mode and shoot! It is so fun and in the moment! Take as many pictures as you want. You can make movies to your hearts content. There is a lot of versatility and room for creativity with this point and shoot. Having a camera always with me and ready to quickly capture those odd moments is such a delight and I have some amazing photos of lights, orbs, bugs and things that go bump in the night.
Great Camera, Great price October 15, 2008
James Mellema (Sitka, Alaska)
I am very happy with this camera. As an avid amateur photographer I hate being without a camera at all times. My Olympus Evolt 510 is great but too bulky to carry all the time. The 1030SW fills the bill as a snapshot camera. Water (and weatherproof) I never have to worry about it getting wet in the constant rain in SE Alaska were I live. Its small enough to slip in a pocket and takes very good pictures as well as good video. Shutter lag is minimal which has been a problem with other digital snapshot cameras. the body is small and very slippery, but the addition of a silicon skin makes it easy to hold. The photos are very sharp and the relatively large screen helps to frame shots well. I always shoot pictures at the highest resolution and the 2GB xD card holds well over 100 shots so I am not limited with the number of photos I can take. I look forward to obtaining a housing, and using this little gem while diving.
My 2 minor problems with the camera are the easy of including fingers over the lens in shots, especially when shooting quick action shots, and the lack of raw mode. I have become spoiled with my DSLR, shooting in raw mode and the ease of manipulating the files. I suppose one can't have everything for under $450.00.

It comes with a MicroSD adapter October 14, 2008
J. Hanson (Averill Park, NY USA)
I just got my camera today and have only used the 7.1 version. From that experience I didn't want to repeat what everyone else has already said, I just wanted to share my story so far.
The back story:
I purchased the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS5. It was a nice little point and shoot camera, but after carrying it around in my pocket one day, lint got behind the lens. Having had a couple point and shoot cameras in my time, I didn't even realize this was possible, it's never happened before. I've only had it a few months and short of completely disassembling the camera, there's nothing I can do about it. The pictures are so bad now it's not worth taking any. Frustrating!
Flash forward to a couple weeks ago:
I took the kids to an indoor water park and didn't even bother bringing the lint damaged camera. After a couple hours of fun, I noticed the park had digital waterproof cameras for rent so I tried it. It was the Olympus 7.1 megapixel camera. It was great, I could take it down the slides, take underwater shots of the kids in the pool and carry it around without having to worry about anything. The shots were good, not outstanding, but good considering what I was putting it though.
So that got me to thinking, I didn't really need a waterproof camera, but if I had one, I wouldn't have to worry about LINT!
So as to not get burned again, I went out and did a little looking around. There really wasn't much else out there. So I got this 10 megapixel version in hopes of a slightly better picture, after all, 7.1 was good, 10 must be great! Right? Anyway, when I went to order, this is when I got schooled on memory cards. From what I found, Olympus and Fuji only use XD cards, which are slower and more expensive. Not to mention, the biggest card I could find was 2 gigs. I'm sure that will be fine for the most part...and if not, I could get another... but I already had gigs of SD and MicroSD cards, so I wasn't real happy I couldn't use those.
So my camera shows up today, I open the box and right on top is an Olympus XD adapter for MicoSD cards! Fantastic. I didn't recall seeing anything about an adapter anywhere I read, so I just wanted to pass this along.
Excellent versatile and durable October 12, 2008
T. Kelly (Powder Springs, GA United States)
This camera is the perfect all around camera with better than average image quality, durable housing, simple controls with the right depth of complexity for customizable images with great battery life.
We took our camera on a cruise - this camera was perfect. Underwater, bouncing off the ground and then taking great shots moments thereafter ..could you ask for anything more?
great go anywhere anything camara to have aroud October 9, 2008
B. C. S. Cassese (hawaii)
i have throughly tested this camera,i brought it in to a jungle and stomped around with it for a month. took it in the ocean down to 15 ft droped it couple times but it kep on going. the pictures come ouit good and so does the video its a fast and easy camera to learn. down sides are the zoom is terrible. but they offer decent costomer support and they back up there warrentes. for 300$ its 10 megapixls and a video recorder with water capabilities. they have lots of great accessories for it to so if you wanna go deep or not have to worrie at all about ur camera then u put out 120+$ and you got a waterhousing. good buy for first timers and adventures.
