The Olympus Stylus 1030SW is created for you, the photographer. It's built to be tough. It can be taken everywhere and used in all conditions. If you live an active life, this camera is for you.

I know I like a camera that can take anything that's thrown at it. Well, the Olympus Stylus 1030SW is shockproof. I have dropped so many cameras in my day, but this camera will withstand a 6.6 ft. fall or drop without a problem. It has a strong metal body, and is shock-absorbant.

If you love watersports, you will also love this camera. You can even take underwater movies with it, and great lake or ocean pictures. It was made for the diver, surfer or anyone who can't stay out of the water. Even if you fall out of that raft, your camera will survive.

If you thought this camera was amazing already, well, it's also freezeproof, for skiing, sledding and other cold sports. It's crushproof, so if you store it under 220 pounds of pressure, the camera is still protected. If you love to travel outdoors in the dust and dirt, the airtight design protects this camera from damage.

I like the fact the the Olympus Stylus 1030SW has a 306x wide-angle zoom lens. It's terrific for shooting that group picture, landscapes or any brilliant panoramic view. It also has a 2.7" HyperCrystal II LCD to improve contrast and color reproduction. And it offers an accurate and exact image display. This extra-wide viewing angle has an increased visibility in direct sunlight. For shooting macro or low-light portraits, the camera has a built-in LED that illuminates the subject when you don't use a flash.

This particular camera includes a microSD adapter (MASD-1). It's also compatible with xD-Picture cards and accepts microSD cards which are both not included. These, if used, are compatible with consumer electronics when using the microSD adapter. If you want to do movie photography using 4GB or larger microSDHC card, you would need to have firmware version 1.1 or later.

This Olympus Stylus 1030SW is certified as an Eco-product. It has a reduced environmental footprint throughout it's whole lifecycle. The manufacturing and processes in marketing the product also contributes positively to the environment.

I recommend the Olympus Stylus 1030SW to the serious photographer who wants a camera that can do everything but take the picture by itself.
