Olympus Stylus 1030
Olympus Stylus 1030 Review: This is a great product. Really clear photos underwater, quick-ready so you can grab it and snap a photo in seconds. Feature-packed. I really like the create calendar feature. The only changes I would make to the design. Add a viewfinder for use with action scenes and video; also it might be better to have the lens in the center of the camera instead of where fingers naturally get in the way. Battery life is very long, microphone is accurate for audio reproduction and this thing will take a beating. I used it for a month in Costa Rica in all sorts of weather, in hot springs and on the beach/salt water. Zero problems.
Olympus Stylus 1030 Review: I used my new Olympus 1030 SW on a trip to Grand Cayman, after the first use in water it kept reading a message that there was a compartment open, which I could not see. The next day I was able to use it and I took hundreds of pics. Some were awesome and others grainy, but then again it stopped working saying there was a compartment open. I returned it; got a new one. Took some really great pics out of water, then the first time in the water after taking a few pics it just turned off and turning it on did not do a thing.
Olympus Stylus 1030 Description: The Stylus 1030 SW is one tough camera. The shockproof, waterproof, freezeproof and dustproof design gives active people the confidence to take this camera anywhere and shoot in nearly any condition. Plus, the wide-angle lens lets users capture more of what they see. It is great for divers, surfers, rafters, skiers and anyone with an active lifestyle.
Olympus Stylus 1030 Review: Looking for a durable camera for your thru-hike. You can’t find another camera with comparable features, this has everything you need to make it from Mexico to Canada and then some. Make the right choice and get the one that will make it all the way with some really adverse conditions to go through and keep on working. You don’t want to miss any shots or worry about that last river crossing so get the camera that will get the job done and very well at that.
Olympus Stylus 1030 Review: This camera is a great beach camera. It is waterproof to 33 Ft and can withstand bumping and banging. It was fun to take it in the water and shoot pictures snorkeling, boating, swimming, etc. The picture quality is very good, but we did have some issues with the video. When zooming in while taking a video, the video quality became very blurry. Also, the way the camera is designed your fingers get in the way of the speaker and you end up with a bumping noise on your videos. The only other complaint is that while the camera itself is durable, the finish on the camera scratches easily.
Olympus Stylus 1030 Review: This is an excellent camera. My husband bought it for me for our trip to Hawaii after my Pentax waterproof camera broke. It takes great terrestrial photos as well as underwater photos. The battery lasts fairly well, and the charger is small and compact. It has many options of different modes, including a few different choices for underwater modes which is great. It was a convenient size to make it easy to take anywhere. I also use Nikon D300 and this is great for when you just want to take snapshots and don’t want to take along a big camera.
