Olympus Stylus 1050SW Digital Camera First Impressions Review

Comments:
The Olympus Stylus 1050SW lives for moderate danger; it is water, shock and freezeproof, so it can stand up to the rigors of a trip to the beach or an adventure in the snowy wastelands. And we found the camera to be easy to use, with the new tap control (

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

Olympus Stylus 1050 SW Review

Comments:
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?

Review 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 - s
