Olympus Stylus 1030SW 10.1MP Digital Camera with 3.6x Optical Wide Angle Zoom (Green) Reviews
On 9/5/08 when I tried to use it again, it started, beeped 4 times, then shut down. After the horror stories I see posted on the Internet regarding Olympus "No Service" and charging people to fix their defective/leaking cameras, I'm considering contesting the credit card charge I bought it with. Charger says the battery is fully charged, and the "View" mode works (where the camera also indicates a fully-charged battery), but cannot otherwise take photos or videos. Be warned.
I last used it 8/28/08 when snorkeling in Lake Tahoe (fresh water, depth of 5 ft). You may get lucky and get a "Good" Olympus 1030 SW, but their quality control appears to be letting some defective, non-waterproof units get into the retail stores. I would NOT trust this camera on a "Once-in-a-lifetime" trip. Was shocked to see that Olympus warrantee excludes damage caused by water, shock, or "abuse" to a supposedly waterproof, shockproof and crushproof camera. I bought an Olympus 1030 SW in May, and first used it 6/28/08, with 75 photos taken on it total.
This is the second Olympus camera I've owned and love the ease of use. The underwater pictures were great too. The only problem I have with this camera is the fact that when in movie recording mode, you can't zoom. We took this camera to Puerto Vallarta last August. It did really well with pictures taken on the outside. But aside from this minor issue, I would say this is as good a product as my older Olympus.
amazing camera. It traveling to Iraq and is doing great in the sand and heat.
Sometimes a droplet of water will stay on the lens and show up on subsequent pictures. I researched the heck out of this camera before buying it.it's purpose was for our Disney trip, specifically the water parks. I feel bad for those who have had trouble with this camera, because for me, it's been amazing.
No viewfinder is really no problem.I haven't used one since my first digi camera 10 years ago. I got a 8gb microsd and came home from florida with 300 hundred photos and a TON of video, with a ton of memory to spare. People are amazed at the underwater videos I've taken, and the pictures come out great too.
Not so good on maximum zoom in low light, but that's the only complaint. This camera has given us video memories that NO OTHER little camera would do. My only suggestion is to keep an eye on the lens if you're using it in the water.
I just blow on it to get rid of any water. I tried it out at home in the pool and just love this camera.
Appears to be a nice product, but if the LCD goes black then you have no view finder and no access to the functions. The camera only worked for a few days so I would not recommend it.
