Olympus Mju 1030 SW
First Take
Building on the success of its previous weatherproof cameras like the Mju 790SW, Olympus introduced the Mju 1030SW, a point-and-shoot designed to withstand extreme conditions. Unveiled together with the Mju 850SW, the 1030SW is a more rugged version with crushproof feature and has better shock, freeze and waterproof tolerance.

Proof that really proved.
May 19, 2008Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Extreme-proof camera, Micro SD to XD converter included, Functional LED, Build in Manometer.
Cons: less confidence to grip, slightly noticeable noise.
Opinion:
Olympus mju 1030 SW is the almost everything-proof camera. Even it's not for quality-photo enthusiast, it's the gadget that you need to have-it for outdoor activity (esp. camping, jungle-tracking, snorkeling & scuba-diving, ice skating etc). You can use this camera in fully auto mode or you can change for manually controlled camera. As you noted early, I call this camera is a gadget because of the functional LED. The LED can be used as a flashlight as well as it can be switched on even if you not operate the camera to snap pictures.
Rugged and Good P&S

A great waterproof camera !
Mar 24, 2008Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Waterproofing !
Cons: Soft photos
Opinion:
Great outdoors camera for that adventurous person. Absolutely love the waterproof feature and has no regrets getting it. But do note that this camera is not for those looking for high quality pictures. The specs are however sufficient for P&S users.
