Digital camera reviews of Olympus Stylus 1050SW 10.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Black)
Digital camera Review: After a year, being in the river in CO mountains, and in the pool I still love this camera!
Summary: 5 Stars
I got the Olympus Stylus 1050 SW camera for Christmas last year and it has been the best camera I have ever had! I'm not saying it takes professional photos or videos but I have captured some of my favorite memories that I could never replace with it. I am on the clumsy side so it has been dropped, left outside, and put through the ringer :) It has been in my diaper bag out of a case...as many moms know...this can be a messy place. You can rinse it and it is like new. It has made several trips to the mountains in Colorado. It has sat near a campfire, been taken to the river with our kids, gotten dirty, and has made trips to the pool. I have taken video under the cold water in the river and photos and videos in the pool. I have priceless footage of my daughter learning to swim from in the pool with her. You don't have to worry about it being splashed. I love how you can start a video from under the water and then take it out and continue above water. The photos from under water are crystal clear. I am going to try to add a photo here that I have taken under water. I would say that most of the photos I have taken with it are very clear. The only drawback, like others have said, is that the shutter speed isn't very fast. I have another camera (that I take much better care of) that I use when I'm taking photos that I plan on photo shopping and putting on my webise or framing. This camera does take just as good of photos but I can capture more with my other one that has a faster shutter speed. This camera is well worth it for the fun water photos and not worrying about it getting damaged. It also has great features like the tap, the anti shake-which comes out clear for me every time, and so many menu options that I haven't been able to use them all. I lost the camera a few months ago. I am going on vacation this month and have been reading the reviews for the newer models of the Olympus under water cameras. I saw less problems reported with this camera than with the newer models. I found the camera today and am so happy! It was in a bag in my garage and has been out there since Halloween. I turned it on, it works just like new and it has a lot of battery life left. I live in Colorado and it has snowed and frosted many times since then, so I can say that I have tested it being frost proof, water proof, and shock proof....also kid proof :) I would definitely recommend this camera, especially for a family with kids! I will try to update this review with photos/videos when we get back from our vacation from the beach.

Summary of Olympus Stylus 1050SW 10.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Black)
While other digital cameras may use touch screens to access settings, the new Stylus 1050 SW has a shockproof, waterproof and freezeproof body that is sensitive to touch all over. So getting to the most common menu settings in situations where pushing buttons takes time or is difficult is now as fast and easy as a tap on the top, back or sides of the camera. The rugged 10.1-megapixel Stylus 1050 SW is designed to take the hard knocks that everyday life - particularly those with kids - can throw its way, so you know that the memories it captures will be protected. It can handle five-foot drops to the hard ground, operate in freezing snowstorms, and swim with the fishes - lethal conditions for most other digital cameras. Additionally, the Stylus 1050 SW weathers the elements in style with four trendy colors (blue, champagne, silver and black) and a new streamlined body. The sleek, lens-protecting faceplate slides down, turning the camera on and revealing the lens in an instant to capture the moment.Digital Cameras
