5 Stars Anywhere Anytime the Stylus 1030 SW the Best
Muy buen producto, es una Camara diseñada para tipo de actividades, he usado las diferentes funciones y todas responden perfectamente, en nevadas en dias soleados en el interior de la casa en todas partes las fotografias son muy buenas, en algunos casos hay que definir las condiciones para tomar las fotos con mas claridad, pero es un proceso muy simple un gran producto como todo lo que Produce Olympus America.

It can drop from 6.6 feet with a 3.6x wide-angle optical zoom, 2.7-inch LCD screen and digital imaging advances, including Face Detection, Shadow Adjustment Technology, and a TruePic III image processor to capture rich, vibrant detail with every shot.
3 Stars 35 mm Film Takes Better Pictures
I bought this camera last September as a replacement for an earlier Olympus camera. I love the convenience of this digital. I don’t have to work about breaking it. It works perfectly, but the picture quality isn’t as good as film.
I was sorting through my old stuff and found some old 35 mm Kodak Advantix film, took it to get it developed, and the picture quality was much better than anything I’ve every seen with either one of my Olympus cameras.
In summary a 35 mm camera takes much better pictures… I thought I would opt for the Canon 40D later on, but I might be going back to film.
2 Stars i didn’t even rough it up but the rubber on the front bailed in a few months!
i must say i was very considerate with this camera…i wasn’t all happy with the pictures i got..they weren’t sharp especially in low light, the flash was no good (it just blinds you yet the range was pathetic) and the colors were just wrong but i thought it was FAIR since i had to sacrifice quality pictures as long as i could “take it anywhere”, “drop it”, “get it underwater”..i got to use the underwater feature in a pool one time and i still babied it since it wasn’t scratchproof..then i noticed the rubber on the front was wobbly and protruding..now i cant trust it to be anythingproof! its just wrong! i didn’t even get to optimize the features and it bails on me just like that! now i have to get it fixed making it more costly than it already is, such a hassle! i didn’t give it a 1-star rating since i can still take pictures with it..but not being able to get it wet even with a little drizzle loses the whole purpose of buying it!
5 Stars A must have camera!!!
I have had the Olympus Stylus 1030SW for almost a year. It is a great camera for the active traveler. It is small and rugged. Use it at the water parks, snorkeling, diving, and at the pool. You do not need to worry about kids dropping it. It is shockproof. It can go down under water 33 feet. Take it along snow skiing or on a tabogan ride. This camera can take a beating and it will keep on going strong. The quality of the pictures are great. It is not a portrait camera so do not expect that feature. It can do everything else.
