Olympus Stylus 1050 SW
Comments:
Innovative tap controls don't make up for subpar image quality and long shutter lag in the ruggedized Olympus 1050 SW.
Innovative tap controls don't make up for subpar image quality and long shutter lag in the ruggedized Olympus 1050 SW.
QuickTake:
Pros: Waterproof, shockproof, freezeproof. Built-in accelerometer and "tap controls" let you activate some features by tapping. Descriptive menus and features are very intuitive and helpful for beginners.
Cons: Long shutter delay. Long wait time between shots. Sharpness weakens at image edges. Noticeable color fringing. ISO speeds 400 to 1600 are very noisy. LCD shows significant motion blur.

Olympus Stylus 1050SW Digital Camera First Impressions Review
Comments:

Review Verdict: If you are the sort of person who likes to visit moderately dangerous places, the Stylus 1050SW is worth considering. It is water, shock and freezeproof, so it should stand up to shallow water, drops and chilly weather. But the 1030SW may be a better pick
