Lightning Review: Waterproof Shockproof Freezeproof Olympus Stylus 1030SW

The Gadget: The Stylus 1030SW, Olympus' semi-indestructible 10.1MP point-and-shoot, is designed for fairly extreme conditions. Olympus claims the camera is shockproof (to 2 meters), waterproof (to 10 meters), freezeproof (to 14°F), and crushproof (to 220 lbs.) We've seen other cameras with features like this, but it's rare that they're all combined into one.

The Price: $400 retail, we've seen it as low as $340.

The Verdict: It's tougher than Glass Joe, but it's no Mike Tyson.

Hands On Olympus Stylus 1030 SW Indestructo-Point and Shoots

Point-and-shoots bore the hell out of me, and most of the PMA P-and-S spam has all bled together at this point. But, I really like the shock- and water-proof armor Olympus has on its otherwise unremarkable 10MP Stylus 1030 SW. It's a steely hardass with style, and I love the exposed. It's actually very lightweight, but you still get a sense of its solidity in your hand (or banging it on the table). Its lesser sibling Stylus 850 SW is lesser both in person and on paper.

Olympus Stylus 1030SW Is Drop-, Water- and Freeze-Proof

Here's the Jack Bauer of the new Olympus compacts: the Stylus 1030SW, drop-proof from 6 feet, waterproof to 33 feet and operates at temperatures as cold as 14 degrees Fahrenheit. With 10.1 megapixels, a 3.6 x optical zoom and a 2.7-inch LCD, and with built-in scene modes for underwater shooting as well as beach and snow modes, it looks like we need a vacation to try it out. Available in March for around $400. [New Launches]

Olympus Stylus 790SW Adds Tech, Keeps Toughness, Lowers Price

Olympus is talking tough about its latest waterproof and freeze-proof Stylus 790SW camera, the successor to that Stylus 770SW we saw frozen in a block of ice in Las Vegas last March. Carrying on that everything-proof tradition, this one still can brave freezing, dust, shock and water, but adds intriguing new tech under the hood at the same time.

PMA 07: Olympus Stylus 770SW Frozen Into a Solid Block of Ice

When we saw this solid block of ice at the Olympus booth, we simply couldn't walk by, and we reached out and touched it just to make sure it was real. Hey, wait a minute, are those real cameras frozen inside there? Sure enough, a couple of Olympus Stylus 770SW digital point-and-shooters were temporarily entombed in that huge block of ice, implying that not only are they shockproof and waterproof (to 33 feet deep) but they're also freeze-proof. What an entertaining demo! More »

Latest by Jezzza: Yes, but just because their frozen into a bock of ice now doesn't mean they will still work when everyone goes home and the ice melts. But you know, they probably will. more »

Olympus Stylus 770 SW Camera: One Tough Mother

These are some ugly cameras, the photographic equivalent of those Panasonic Toughbooks we kinda like. It's a 7MP camera you can basically beat the crap out of, try drowning, and freezing, without harm. It'll hit depths of 33 feet under water, laugh at drops of nearly 5 feet, and be warm as a kitten in an microwave at 14 degrees Fahrenheit. (But more functional than the Kitten.) What's to explain this camera except that it's got a Wolverine-like healing factor. I just don't see it working any other way. There's little else info on this camera, but we'll update when we know more.–Brian Lam More »

PMA Live: Last Days and Olympus

Staying through the end of the fourth and final day of the PMA show in Orlando must feel a little like being the last journalist out of Vietnam after the fall of Saigon. You hear the sound of the buses outside like the roar of the choppers on top of the U.S. Embassy in Saigon circa 1975, but you re surrounded by a sea of Public Relations flaks, manufacturer marketing mavens, camera store owners and other assorted photo enthusiasts who also want to get the hell out of this town and back to their homes as soon as possible, far away from the Land of the Giant Rat.

Olympus Stylus Updates

Olympus is having a big day, first with its E-Volt E330 DSLR and now with three new Stylus cameras to shine up their lineup. The first is the Stylus 710, with 7.1 megapixels, 3x optical zoom, 2.5-inch LCD and the company's Bright Capture Technology that it says should help with taking and reviewing images in severely low-lit environments. It's also small and weather resistant, with rubber gaskets inside, so you can take some of those rain shots you've been dying for. Look for it next month for $350. More »

Latest by KJA: You mixed up the two first links together. and why does the 810 have less shooting modes than the 710? I would but the 810 if it had CCD. more »
