Digital camera reviews of Olympus Stylus 1030SW 10.1MP Digital Camera with 3.6x Optical Wide Angle Zoom (Black)
Digital camera Review: Oly 1030 great camera except it floods often !
Summary: 2 Stars
Ever since the Olympus 770 debuted, I bought a couple. Since I live in the Carribbean, they are hard to come by, hence my owning one extra as a back-up. I also bought the PT-043 Olympus housings to scuba dive with the camera. I also own the newer (at the time) 1030 and have five of them now (mine, my back-up, 1 for each of two daughters). That's four .....
Unfortunately, every one of these cameras has flooded either snorkeling at 5 feet max, or while in my swim suit while wading chest deep. And every one had to go back to Oly for a repair, which they did no problem (other than the logistics of shipping from outside the USA.
Yes, I bought extended warranties on all of these cameras but they all flooded well within the original 1 year warranty period ! Olympus denies any issue with these c
ameras, but do a google search for OLYMPUS STYLUS FLOODING and you will see I am not alone. Several major USA camera repair centers DO acknowledge they get a lot of these cameras back for flooding damage. I called and spoke at great length with Oly in NY and they promised to get back to me with a response. That was in September and am still waiting!
DISCLOSURE : I was a professional photog for 30+ years and I know how to care for the camera. Despite careful cleaning of the seals, and assuring they were closed prior to wading, they still flooded.
In August I got one of the 1030's back from Olympus, went wading, and it flooded again ! So back it went. That's when I bought camera # 5 last week. It is on its way back to Oly as I type this!
So why did I buy another one ????? Because it is otherwise a great camera, especially for macro shots. (Though the flash is useless beyond 6 feet or so.) But mainly because I own several of the Olympus PT-043 underwater housings and no other camera will fit inside. Both of these models I bought are supposed to go 33 feet (10 metres) without the need for a housing.
MORAL : Use the camera ONLY IN A HOUSING if you plan on getting it wet ! OR, buy a cheap 3 year extended warranty from MACK CAMERA who are FANTASTIC to deal with by the way! ( I am not associated with MACK in any way. )
