Olympus Stylus 1050 SW (champagne)

By (cnet.com)

Rugged body ; unique Tap Control ; very good feature set

Poor control layout ; produces soft photos ; sloooooow performance

Despite its decent features and handy Tap Control, there's no getting past the slow performance of the Olympus Stylus 1050 SW.

The Olympus Stylus 1050 SW rolled out in October 2008 at a price of $299.99...

By (electronicsme.com)

If you need a rugged, all-weather point-and-shoot camera, you probably should give the Stylus 1050 SW a try, but be sure and try it out in a store that will let you look at some test images you've taken, as image quality seems to be the number one ...

Olympus Stylus 1050 SW

By Roger Hibbert (wired.com)

Shockproof to 5 feet and waterproof 10 means you can bang it on the edge of the pool as you fall in with no harm done. Tap feature lets you change settings without futzing with buttons, and the camera can handle alpine frigidity with aplomb. Comes ...

Lens cover slides more easily than Ricky Henderson. The battery is easily inserted backwards, making you think it's dead or the camera is malfunctioning. Weak zoom and poor macro ability; this camera could use a bifocal upgrade.

Awesome Camera

By N/A (newegg.com)

Great all around camera and i am extremely happy with it. I bought it to take on my Honeymoon and it was the first time using it. I loved it and have so many great underwater pics. I have always used Nikon cameras but i have found a new favorite brand and...

Underwater pictures and video look amazing. Very easy to use and menu screens and settings are easy to setup.

I really don't see anything wrong with this camera but if i could change a few things. I don't link how you remove the battery to charge the unit. You must bring the charging base with you on trips so you can recharge battery. Also camera is a little larg...

Olympus Stylus 1050 SW

By gmaheu (photographyreview.com)

Not even close to what its cracked up to be. Was dissapointed that after 29 days my camera picked up this ugly black spot that showed up on all images and video. Was an internal problem that needed to be fixed at the factory. I sent it in and was told tha...

Small compact size. On/Off slider is nice feature

Not as durable as they claim

Manufacturer's Description

Beneath its elegant exterior, the Stylus 1050 SW is shockproof, waterproof, freezeproof and overall lifeproof. Plus it's loaded with breakthrough features like tap control that lets you operate the camera simply by tapping it. It is great for extremely cold temperatures where gloves are a must.
