Best in it's class

I researched all the point and shoot cameras and found the Olympus Stylus 1030SW has the most to offer for the money. Besides the obvious features no other cameras can match like the Water Proof, Crush proof and so on is the overall quality of the camera. It looks and feels very well made. The pictures are sharp and clear and the menu and buttons are easy to understand and operate. One of the truely best point and shoot cameras out there.
GREAT CAMERA! 2008-07-10
I just got this camera for my birthday and i been looking at the reviews on amazon saying that this camera takes bad pictures. HELL NO IT DOESNT! It is probably the easiest camera to use. I think the problem with people getting bad shots is that they dont know how to use a camera in general. I mean the settings are right there for you to use. Honestly if you cant choose the pre settings that are available then just switch it to auto. lol
I dont know what other people are talking about with the battery. If someone is saying something negative about it then they just got a bad one. Hey, it happens. When I got my camera, I put the battery in right away and used it for 15 min. After 15 min it said it was gonna die. I recharged it for 3 hours. The next day I took it to the water park for 6 hours. And during the six hours it was probably turned on for 5 because i hardly turned it off. I was taking so many pictures! Also if you need to know, the camera was in the water pretty much the entire time possible. Gave me no problems. So after 5 hours of it being on, I checked the battery life on the screen. GUESS WHAT!?!?! Still FULLY CHARGED!!!
Taking video.. On VGA mode yes only ten seconds. But on QVGA at 30fps IT LOOKED GREAT!! and it records as long as you have space on your memory card. Sound could be a little better but its a camera for a reason. to take pictures.
Great camera. I would recommend this camera to anyone looking to get their moneys worth.
Great purchase for its purpose.

Great camera if you want/need a waterproof/shockproof camera.
The image quality for pictures taken outdoors is great. But it is really not good for indoor pictures with high ISOs, the pictures becomes extremely pixelated and grainy. I wish they had used a better processor for higher ISO pictures. But if waterproof is the ultimate goal this is definitely the way to go. I took some great pictures underwater and outdoors in general. Nice size and robust built. High recommend for its purpose but if artistic/great shots is your goal, go for a DSLR. This is a bit pricey too, and I got it because I broke my last two cameras because of water spills.
Not really waterproof....

I am not happy with this product at all. It is supposed to be a waterproof camera and that is why you pay a little more when you buy it. It is supposed to be good at 33ft. under water but the first time I used it inside the swimingpool with the kids it was full of water and stopped working. I don't call this a waterproof camera so don't buy it if that is what you want to use it for.
Good camera, but easily scratched 2008-07-06
I took this camera on a few kayak trips. It performed great, is easy to use, and had excellent battery life. One problem was that the camera insisted the battery cover was open, although it wasn't. It took a hair dryer for a few seconds to the open battery compartment to straighten things out. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the lcd and the face of the camera were scratched for no apparent reason other than the normal exposure to gear and elements of a kayaking trip. A camera that is supposed to be tough shouldn't scratch so easily. I would suggest getting the silver as the scratches may be less noticeable if you plan to take it along on a similar trip.

I bought the camera for my sister, as she travels all of the world doing mission and relief work in central and south America, and this camera is perfect for her. IT is durable, shock resistant and waterproof.
Amazing 2008-07-18
This camera is amazing. You can do so much with it. Drop it in water, throw it who cares. Awesome. However the first one I bought stopped working. I returned it and they quickly sent me a new one that works great.
Great Camera! You won't be dissappointed! :) 2008-07-17
I researched this camera heavily before purchasing it. I was even a bit skeptical with its claims of being waterproof, shockproof, etc. But in the end, I decided to give it a shot and I have not been disappointed.
This camera lives up to its promise. I tested it underwater and it took very nice pictures! Although, one thing you do need to keep in mind is that for the camera to stay functional, you need to follow the very simple upkeep instructions.
Image quality: Absolutely amazing. I bought a 2gb xd for the camera and on 10mp normal resolution you can take about 400 photos. I set my photos at 10mp fine resolution. I really like this feature because on my older camera, I had to convert the image to high-res after it was on the computer.
One thing with the image quality that you might need to watch out for: if you are shooting macro or super-macro, you'll probably want to use a tripod. You can get a decent shot without one, but a tripod makes it soo much easier.
Another great thing about this camera is the battery. I wasn't sure I was going to like having a battery you had to plug into the wall to charge but its great to not have to keep buying AAs all the time. The battery keeps a charge quite a few hours of fairly heavy use (constant zooming, turning off/on, viewing images, etc.) You can find replacement batteries for fairly cheap too. I found an offbrand battery for $[...] and free shipping on [...].
Also, in researching this camera, I found some links to the possibilities of photography with this camera.

Awesome Camera - The Waterproof Part is THE BEST! 2008-07-10
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1AEEPYVR3DL9J Love the Olympus 1030SW - it matches my lifestyle... rough, tough & ready for anything, especially water. Shot a short video of me jumping in a lake, which obviously doesnt phase the camera whatsoever.
