      Olympus Stylus 1050 SW Video Review

      By DCR Staff

      Olympus Stylus 1050 SW

      By Steve Morgenstern

      Review summary: The Olympus Stylus 1050 SW is the latest addtion to the company's line of ruggedized cameras, which now includes five models, from the $250 Stylus 850 SW to the top-of-the-line 1030 SW, priced at $350. The 1050 SW ($300) doesn't match the level of ...

      Olympus mju 1050SW

      By Rod Lawton

      Review summary: The Olympus mju 1050SW is especially pretty for being waterproof, shockproof and freezeproof. It's quite astonishing that such an elegant camera should turn out to be so tough, but its small size and slippery finish limit its usefulness in the extreme ...

      Pros: All kinds of proof ; slim and elegant

      Cons: Maddening tap control ; average lens and picture quality

      Verdict: It's quite astonishing that such a slim and elegant camera should also turn out to be so tough. But its small size and slippery finish does limit its usefulness in those extreme environments it's so good at surviving, and its controls and its picture ...
