Olympus Stylus 1030 SW Review

At the first glance of the spec sheet for the Olympus Stylus 1030 SW, it looks like your typical compact point and shoot – 10.1 megapixel sensor, 2.7 inch LCD, 3.6x optical zoom lens.
But dig a little deeper and you’ll find that this “SW” model is shockproof (6.6 foot drop), waterproof to 33 feet, cold-proof (to 14 degrees Fahrenheit) and crushproof (up to 220 pounds). Here is also a built-in manometer which can record air or water pressure and attach that data to your images as altitude or depth. An LED illuminator next to the flash can be used for illuminating close-up shots, or other shots in which you can’t (or don’t want to) use a flash.
There are plenty of “soft” features as well. The 1030 SW is capable of face detection as one of the focus modes. A Panorama mode will stitch together images in-camera, if you choose, making wide panorama shots (though the results weren’t as seamless as those from some other digicams we’ve tested).
