What our customer's say!

"Excellent - the 3rd one we've purchased!", I've bought two of these for my company and one for personal use. I'm considering another for personal... it is an excellent camera with outstanding durability. On top of it all, it takes beautiful, clear, crisp pictures withOUT a delay! Only my very expensive DSLR is faster, but not by much!!

A must have for everyone who enjoys photography, but wants to have something they can take anywhere, regardless of the weather, and fit it in their pocket or purse.

"Perfect gift for those a little less than careful...", I bought this for my mom and I also bought one for my boyfriend, they both have exclaimed it was their favorite Christmas gift. It's durable, sleek, and lightweight. It does not give away the fact that it is - for all accidental occurences - virtually indestructible.

The options for taking different types of pictures are numerous, but if you are able to take good care of your camera, you don't really need to add the option that makes it able to endure 220lbs of force. The zoom option is also not too significant, if you really like taking close-ups from far away, I suggest a different model.

"Great camera", This camera is versatile, easy to use and takes great pictures. Although I have not tried the underwater movie mode yet, I look forward to doing that this summer. Its heavy-duty design takes the worry out of the camera being knocked about. I ordered the strap with the carabiner-type clip for easier attachment to a backpack or belt. This camera, so far, seems to be worth the money.

"Olympus Stylus 1030sw", Great camera, you can use it everywhere, the quality of the pictures has improve a lot from the latest model.



"Olympus 1030SW Camera and companion soft camera case ", Ordered this camera as a bundle with the companion soft camera case and 2GB picture card for my husband. Handsome, sleek and extremely functinal. My husband is in the diving and marine industry so the underwater, waterproof and impact features are a must. Sharp pictures also needed for job visuals and reports. Camera has definately stepped up to the plate regarding all of these features. Great camera for a fair price!

Read this reviews before You buy...

"The best camera EVER!!!!", I love this camera!!! Water proof and easy to use!! I have had two to date one was stollen and I had to have another one!!

"I absolutely love it! Friend used mine in Cabo, bought one on his return.", This is a great pocket camera. period. it shoots fabulous pictures, great video... oh and it never leaves your pocket so it's always available.

That was my biggest complaint with my other fancier cameras. I'd bring this expensive, cool camera on vacation and then because i was going to the beach I'd leave it in the hotel... or bring it with and have a friend "watch" it while we went in the ocean. I hated that.

Now I stick the camera in my pocket, we went horseback riding, swimming in the pool (took underwater shots), lounging on the beach, kayaking, deep sea fishing, and swimming in the ocean (took underwater and in/out of water shots there too). Yeah!

I have shots of all of that from our adventures so far... not to mention great distance shots from a hike into the snow and a Mirror Lake.

I can't say enough great things.

Is it a $1000 Digital SLR with $1000 interchangeable lenses? Nope. One of my great friends is a pro photographer, so I occasionally get to play with her toys and her glass... amazing. But convenience and always having it available for shots is more important to me. Will I buy an expensive, awesome Digital SLR... probably...but I still won't get rid of my waterproof great pocket shooter.

I'd recommend getting two of the xD cards (I have 2x2Gig). I went for the Olympus brand so I could use their panoramic feature... however to date I've never used it. I use Google Picasa or Windows Live Photo Gallery to do my panoramic photo collage creations with no special hardware. I also bought two batteries for convenience... although this thing is incredible on batteries (IMHO).

One last thing. I'm a scuba diver too. I bought the Olympus case that fits this camera for diving and took it down to Mexico. Worked like a charm and a friend just borrowed it for their trip to Kona. Goes down to 140'. (Note: as will all diving camera setups, good maintenance, condensation packs, and a final check on that O ring should keep you out of trouble.)

Enjoy!

"One Tough Cookie", This camera is laden with features and takes great pictures but not perfect pictures. What cinched the deal for me was its sturdiness of build quality. That being first rate.

"Excellent features, ok photos", I wanted a camera I couldn't break with my persistent clumsiness and bought this one on the recommendation of two friends. I'm very pleased with its durability and general ease of use. I'm not very techno-savvy, though, so a lot of my pictures in low light come out really fuzzy. It might just be that I have it on some of the wrong settings, but it seems to me that I got better low-light pictures from my previous camera, which I broke by dropping too many times. But I'm willing to concede that the problem might be me, not the camera.

"The best camera ever", I purchased this camera because my old camera was stolen. I previously owned the Olympus 720 SW.

The 1030SW is absolutely awesome. It is SOOOOO much more user friendly than the other one I had and it takes much better pictures and video. Adjusting the settings to best fit lighting and movement is idiot proof. PLUS....it's freeze proof, water proof, dust proof and impact resistant! Which makes it PERFECT for snowboarding, snorkling, four wheeling, paragliding, surfing, swimming...you name it! It is the BEST camera available for adventurous people who love an adrenaline rush....it is the only camera that can keep up with me :-)
