4 out of 5 stars Olympus Stylus 1030SW   July 25, 2008
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. After only a few days of use, it looked very 'beat up'. While this doesn't affect how it works, it looks bad cosmetically.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent Camera   July 25, 2008
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.


4 out of 5 stars fun versitile   July 19, 2008
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.


4 out of 5 stars Amazing   July 18, 2008
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.


5 out of 5 stars Great Camera! You won't be dissappointed! :)   July 17, 2008
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.
