 Great Pictures June 18, 2008

I took this out on father's day. I used it to take some surfing pictures in the ocean and some wine tasting pictures in Temecula and all turned out great. It's very easy to use and I really like the casing.

Bought as replacement for old Konica-Minolta Dimage Xg (broken display).
So far happy of this optimised purchase when looking for sleeky design and increased protection level.
Optical viewfinder + manual focusing function would make this camera perfect = having everything I need.
Super convenient June 17, 2008
Canon, Sony or Nikon do not offer a waterproof digital camera. So it was a no brainer that if I were to finally hang up my trusty old Nikonos waterproof underwater camera and get a replacement it would have to be an Olympus. I have used my Nikonos as an all purpose outdoor camera mostly for my fishing trips taking pictures of my quarry in the rivers or the salt water flats. I rarely went diving and don't really need an underwater camera, like the Nikonos, that is waterproof up to 300 feet. Waterproof cases are bulky and expensive and therefore it was not an option for me to consider. I recently took my new Olympus 1030SW to my Bonefishing trip in the Bahamas and was pleasantly surprised at how advanced and user friendly the features are. There are three features that are new to me that I find innovative. Panorama - combining three shots into one in camera. Guide - shoot with effects preview, allows you to compare previews of different effects such as variations of exposure, zoom, color temperature, thirdly super macro - allows you to shoot super close ups.
There isn't really anything I dislike about the camera. The compact size is great, the battery last more than a day of constant shooting (without flash), writing to the memory card is abit slow and can get in the way if you need to take multiple shots quickly, Using the faster M Plus card, which I should have bought, may speed things up.
I highly recommend this camera to all anglers and others sportsmen near water, you can hang it around your neck or put it in your pocket and not worry about it until you need to take a picture. Having a camera with you at all times, instead of putting it back into a waterproof bag, ensures that you don't miss out on any photo opportunities

I am aware that the reviews rate this camera inferior to others. However, if you want a camera that you can use anywhere, this is the camera for you. it take great underwater movies and I am quite satisfied with the Quality of almost all the shots I took. I took pictures in the water of a tow banana boat that I could not let go of more than one hand and they turned out great. Of course I didn't know that until after the ride.
1030SW is a Great Camera! June 16, 2008
After dropping/breaking my previous Olympus camera, I new it was time for a "not so fragile" digital. We also live on the lake and were always worried about dropping the camera in the water and getting our hands dry before using it. I don't know how many good shots I missed due to being wet. Problem solved. This camera is rugged and can withstand the weather. If you have been researching this camera, you know it is waterproof to 33' (with underwater snap shot and video modes), freezeproof to -14 degrees, crush proof up to 220 lbs, and shock proof to 6'. There is no other digital camera that can withstand this type of abuse.
I am extremely happy with this camera. Others have suggested the scene modes (on the menu) to be an extra step, but I like the way it outlines each mode, so you can have the right mode for the situation. The camera does great in auto mode and I've found the scene modes to be very helpful. The under water pictures are very clear and the scene options work well. My biggest surprise was the clarity on the "fireworks" mode. It really does great!
The only downside is the zoom. I'm used to 10x optical on my last Olympus while this one has 3.6x. However, the other features far outweigh the lack of zoom. You can't expect high optical zoom in a camera the size of a deck of cards.
If you buy this camera, you must get the M+ or H card. These high speed memory cards allow you to shoot video at 30fps for the entire length of your memory. Standard XD cards and M cards only allow for 10 second clips. My 2GB M+ allows for 18 minutes of consecutive video at 30fps. The XD M+ and H cards are also 1.5 times faster, so the "next shot" delay is shorter.
I would recommend this camera to anyone who is active. Standard digitals are just too fragile. Throw it in the boat, canoe, or ski pack and do "your thing" without a worry of breaking your camera.
