Olympus Stylus 1050 SW
Review summary: Olympus has created an entire line of cameras designed to be used in inclement conditions, ranging from the $250 Stylus 850 SW to the $350 Stylus 1030 SW, which can survive depths up to 33 feet. The Stylus 1050 SW, on the other hand, can handle a bit ...
Verdict: The camera has a 3x zoom lens tucked away in the upper left corner, protected by a stylish drop-down lens cover that'll guard against any damage. While the tap system lets you control some of the camera's settings, you'll enter most commands using a ...

Olympus Stylus 1050 SW Review
Review summary: After putting the go-anywhere Olympus Stylus 1050 SW to the test, the results are in: the camera is definitely rugged, but can the images keep up?
Pros: Nearly indestructible ; Great styling and compactness ; Images are vibrant, color-accurate ; Good macro shooting options
Cons: AF is slow, even in good light ; ISO 1600 shows more noise than most competitors ; Hit or miss battery life ; Some image quality concerns
Verdict: . With some serious depth limitations (its waterproofing is only certified to 10 feet down), the 1050 isn't going to be your next dive camera: for that, you'll still need a separate underwater housing. But for more casual encounters of the liquid kind ...

Olympus MJU 1050SW digital camera review
Review summary: The Olympus MJU 1050SW is a waterproof digital camera. It is able to keep out water to a depth of 3m. It ...
Pros: Waterproof - shockproof
Cons: Can be very slow to respond
Verdict: The burst of flash lights the shot well. I found that if you get too close in with the MJU 1050SW it doesn't really reduce the amount of light thrown out by the flash. This can lead to a number of reflective areas on the face and can create b shadows. ...

Olympus Stylus 1050 SW
Review summary: Next-up a tougher test, snorkelling under the chilly surface of Queenstown's Lake Wakatipu at a temperature of around 8 degrees Celsius. The murkier water sapped the sunlight, and low temperatures ate through the batteries, but the 1050 SW still ...
Pros: Fully waterproof to depths of 3m ; Shockproof and freeze-proof ; Live thumbnail previews of adjustments ; Unique tap-controls ; Fully waterproof to depths of 3m ; Shockproof and freeze-proof ; Live thumbnail previews of adjustments ; Unique tap-controls
Cons: Pedestrian 3x zoom range with no 28mm ; No optical or sensor-shift anti-shake ; Softness and fringing towards corners ; Pedestrian 3x zoom range with no 28mm ; No optical or sensor-shift anti-shake ; Softness and fringing towards corners
Verdict: Over the past few generations, Olympus has carved out a real name for itself in the tough, waterproof digital camera market, stealing the thunder from arch rival Pentax. The Olympus SW range - now rebranded as TOUGH - became the models to go for if ...
