 Great Camera, Great price October 15, 2008
I am very happy with this camera. As an avid amateur photographer I hate being without a camera at all times. My Olympus Evolt 510 is great but too bulky to carry all the time. The 1030SW fills the bill as a snapshot camera. Water (and weatherproof) I never have to worry about it getting wet in the constant rain in SE Alaska were I live. Its small enough to slip in a pocket and takes very good pictures as well as good video. Shutter lag is minimal which has been a problem with other digital snapshot cameras. the body is small and very slippery, but the addition of a silicon skin makes it easy to hold. The photos are very sharp and the relatively large screen helps to frame shots well. I always shoot pictures at the highest resolution and the 2GB xD card holds well over 100 shots so I am not limited with the number of photos I can take. I look forward to obtaining a housing, and using this little gem while diving.
My 2 minor problems with the camera are the easy of including fingers over the lens in shots, especially when shooting quick action shots, and the lack of raw mode. I have become spoiled with my DSLR, shooting in raw mode and the ease of manipulating the files. I suppose one can't have everything for under $450.00.

It comes with a MicroSD adapter October 14, 2008
I just got my camera today and have only used the 7.1 version. From that experience I didn't want to repeat what everyone else has already said, I just wanted to share my story so far.
The back story:
I purchased the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS5. It was a nice little point and shoot camera, but after carrying it around in my pocket one day, lint got behind the lens. Having had a couple point and shoot cameras in my time, I didn't even realize this was possible, it's never happened before. I've only had it a few months and short of completely disassembling the camera, there's nothing I can do about it. The pictures are so bad now it's not worth taking any. Frustrating!
Flash forward to a couple weeks ago:
I took the kids to an indoor water park and didn't even bother bringing the lint damaged camera. After a couple hours of fun, I noticed the park had digital waterproof cameras for rent so I tried it. It was the Olympus 7.1 megapixel camera. It was great, I could take it down the slides, take underwater shots of the kids in the pool and carry it around without having to worry about anything. The shots were good, not outstanding, but good considering what I was putting it though.
So that got me to thinking, I didn't really need a waterproof camera, but if I had one, I wouldn't have to worry about LINT!
So as to not get burned again, I went out and did a little looking around. There really wasn't much else out there. So I got this 10 megapixel version in hopes of a slightly better picture, after all, 7.1 was good, 10 must be great! Right? Anyway, when I went to order, this is when I got schooled on memory cards. From what I found, Olympus and Fuji only use XD cards, which are slower and more expensive. Not to mention, the biggest card I could find was 2 gigs. I'm sure that will be fine for the most part...and if not, I could get another... but I already had gigs of SD and MicroSD cards, so I wasn't real happy I couldn't use those.
So my camera shows up today, I open the box and right on top is an Olympus XD adapter for MicoSD cards! Fantastic. I didn't recall seeing anything about an adapter anywhere I read, so I just wanted to pass this along.
Excellent versatile and durable October 12, 2008
This camera is the perfect all around camera with better than average image quality, durable housing, simple controls with the right depth of complexity for customizable images with great battery life.
We took our camera on a cruise - this camera was perfect. Underwater, bouncing off the ground and then taking great shots moments thereafter ..could you ask for anything more?
great go anywhere anything camara to have aroud October 9, 2008
i have throughly tested this camera,i brought it in to a jungle and stomped around with it for a month. took it in the ocean down to 15 ft droped it couple times but it kep on going. the pictures come ouit good and so does the video its a fast and easy camera to learn. down sides are the zoom is terrible. but they offer decent costomer support and they back up there warrentes. for 300$ its 10 megapixls and a video recorder with water capabilities. they have lots of great accessories for it to so if you wanna go deep or not have to worrie at all about ur camera then u put out 120+$ and you got a waterhousing. good buy for first timers and adventures.
Great Gift for Friend on the Go October 9, 2008
I bought this for my friend that is heading to China to pick up his "to-be-adopted" daughter, Lily. My friend uses gadgets but is generally uncomfortable with electronics and the intricacies of tweaking options, downloading pictures, etc. He is also pretty rough on stuff. I can see him dropping the camera, splashing it, etc.
So this camera seems a perfect fit for him. So far he says the shutter delay is much less than his previous camera (an old model Canon point and shoot). He says he has great comfort knowing this camera is indestructible. I can see him using it more knowing that he isn't likely to ruin it by having it with him all the time. He loves the video feature.
I didn't get a chance to see the image quality so I cannot comment. I wish I could.
I'll add more to this review later if I get more specifics from him.
