The Olympus Stylus 1030 SW is tougher than a Chuck Norris roundhouse. Find out why in our in-depth review.
Tough as Conan the Barbarian; possibly tougher. Cool little mode-wheel on back. Helpful panorama modes.
Clumsy interface. Only supports xD and microSD. Making features proprietary to Olympus xD cards is underhanded. Image quality poor for this price range.
The Olympus Stylus 1030 SW isnt about taking magazine-quality pictures. Its about dragging it through 14-degree weather, 30-feet of water and then accidentally dropping it, all without concern for its survival. If the cameras durability meets a sp...

Boil it, mash it, stick it in a stew: The Stylus just won’t break. Durable cameras aren’t just for jittery, extreme-drink-guzzling kids. Sure, they’re the sort who would take a camera surfing or drop it down a skate ramp. But these sol...
Water-, shock-, cold-proof housing leads to creative photos. Looks like a regular camera versus one in a bulky case. Snaps images almost precisely with shutter button.
Mediocre image quality has more noise than detail. Hard to see the screen in bright light. Flash doesn’t light image edges along with a center subject.
The Stylus 1030 SW leads to creative, always-ready photos in rainstorms, ski trips, or just gazing up from a beer mug. A fragile camera can’t get many of those images, but the 1030 SW’s photo quality might make you wish it could...
