 Have always LOVED this camera! August 4, 2010

The Olympus Stylus 1030SW is the BEST affordable waterproof camera ever. The problem with Olympus is they thought they could improve on it, so they discontinued it and came out with the 8010. Bad move Olympus. The 8010 is very slow, the sound and video quality is terrible and the way you can choose functions leaves a lot to be desired. Let me put it this way....by the time you get it turned on and your shooting function selected your target has moved on.
Sometimes leaving well enough alone is a good thing. If you notice when searching for a 1030SW you can hardly find one anywhere, "Maybe because it is discontinued you say...", well no. Even discontinued items can be in surplus on the internet if they weren't popular. Right now finding one and getting it is a struggle and you'll pay about $100 or more for it than the readily available 8010, and why is that???, because the 8010 well...is a poor purchase by comparison. I bought two of the 8010's hoping I just had a bad one the first go round, but alas...it was just a bad camera.
I had my original 1030 stolen and replacing it has been a nightmare. After several sites saying they had one and me placing an order, I got the email...well we don't have this in stock but we'll sell you something else. I said no and kept looking, eventually paying over $400 for one but its worth it!!!!!

Being Tough:
It's pretty good. I have dropped it so often that I have lost count. I'm short 5'5'' and it's rated at 6 feet drop I believe. The casing in front of the camera, the green piece of metal is dented and litter with scratches that you can't really see, except for one where the paint is off. I have a screen protector because I'm paranoid about that part of the camera (it ain't scratch proof). I dropped it in a wishing fountain and it's fine. Most of the time I put it in jean and just go through the day with it in my pockets. My real carabiner with my keys would tap my jean's pocket with the camera on it and it still work. Took it to... New Port Beach, I believe, and it was fine -- made sure the sands didn't go into the lens but other then that it was fine.
Picture Quality:
This is my first digital camera and I'm not a professional photographer or anything, so I can't say much about picture quality. It's decent but you can't take like a picture of a wood pecker from 7 feet away with max zoom and whatever (I've tried it). I found it annoying when I was trying to take pictures of the aphids, green little bugs, that was on top of my black car, couldn't focus. If you zoom in it can't focus and if you zoom out you can't take a picture of the insects because they're a bit small. So those are the two things I've noticed maybe there are options to fix that, if there are any I haven't found it. So overall, my impression of picture quality is decent and maybe a bit below that.
Main reason I wanted one because I wanted to take picture of my adventures but it have to handle my daily life and it does that spectacularly. Oh you can use it for video recording which is ok I guess. I haven't use it much for anything other than taking pictures.
 Better have a steady hand May 20, 2010

The camera is durable as my wife found out when she dropped it out of her lap exiting the car. I love to show off it's waterproof by dropping it in a glass of water in front of friends (make sure everything is closed).
It takes great pictures, but my gosh, you better have a steady hand. My wife can't take a focused picture to save her life and even when I try, it is difficult. I've tried different settings, even the "steady hand" and I get a good amount of pictures but I'd say 30% are out of focus. And when you take trips or are trying to capture a memory, it really sucks to find out later that the picture was out of focus.
I would still recommend this camera, just pay close attention to the focus.
 Do not buy this camera! May 17, 2010

I got this camera as a Christmas gift in 2008. I go to college in Florida and spend a lot of time at the beach, so I thought it was a great camera for my lifestyle. However, the FIRST time I took it in the water, it gave me the "card cover open" error message. I called customer service, sent it in (still covered under warranty), and they fixed the problem after telling me this is a very common problem because of some sensor that has a tendency to malfunction. I got the camera back, and while I was traveling in Egypt a few months later, it broke again! (Thank goodness I had an SLR with me too). The functions pictured on the spinning menu dial do not match up to what is actually happening on the screen, and I can no longer access an "auto" mode. No matter what I spin the setting to, most of the time it thinks I am on "favorites", and I can't get it to take videos. I solved most of the problems by just taking the long way through the menu, but I sent it in to get it fixed, and now a few months later it is doing the same thing. I also took the camera out kayaking the other day (mostly flatwater, nothing even intense!), and now when I turn it on, the screen is black. The lens cover will open, and there are water droplets beaded up underneath it. I am DONE with this camera. It has been nothing but a disappointment (not to mention slightly below-average image quality) and always seems to break when I need it most. I think I'm going to get the Pentax Optio W90 and say goodbye to this camera forever!
