strong and impressive "tough 8000"

Advantages: unbelivebale picture quality and durability
Disadvantages: I havent found one yet with the camera.

excellent buy if you love to take underwater picture. My boyfriend was absolutely taken by the greatness of this camera. We went for a shallow water snorkeling and came back with brilliant photos. The camera is shockproof and it really is. When you buy it just don't wait to use it out in front of everybody. Apart from all this I just love that it is truly indestructible. I accidentally dropped it from my balcony and I was almost frozen with fear ...

...a year. By coincident Olympus was my friend company client and able to get a discount. She asking me whether wants to buy and of course I like to. I bought the camera March 2008 and start using it. Used many times underwater and found it wonderful until last weekend we went to Redang Island .On the very first day of snorkeling still no problem, when used on the second day when I just started snorkeling n took about 2 shot, suddenly the LCD displayed ...
...the battery cover is closed tightly. Then i try to switch off and on again, same statement display and now there are 2 options to choose from either to clean my XD card with clean cloth or format the XD card. I was shocked and fear that all my photos will lose. Without thinking much, I swam back to the shore and cleaned my XD card with dry cloth. After that try to switch on but the display started to blurred out. Then i check the previous photos ...

Review of Olympus µ[MJU:] 1030 SW

ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Advantages: Good features and functions and of course a long zoom.
Disadvantages: Poor image qulaity at high zoom and terrible battery life amongst others.

...impressive 18x, now welcome the Olympus SP-590 UZ with its staggering 26x optical zoom. To put this into perspective you are talking about a range of 26-676mm with a single lens, to buy lens`s for a DSLR to cover this type of range you would realistically be looking at two or as I personally would prefer, three to cover this and you would be looking at spending in the region of £700 and that would be for budget lens`s. So why do professionals like ...
...after two days testing this unit it quickly became apparent to me that although this was a powerful zoom and a very decent unit, it had many limitations and all the money I spend on my equipment is indeed worthwhile after all. Holding this unit in my hand it firstly felt like a small DSLR but neither as sturdy nor comfortable but still reasonably robust and I was quite happy with what I was holding. Pop out the huge zoom lens however and the unit ...

...into the main review of Olympus u[MJU:]SW 1050 let us first try to understand what is ISO settings and its relation to noise, shutter speed and size of image sensors. ISO sensitivity expresses the speed of photographic negative material, it is the ISO equivalent that is given since digital cameras do not use films but image sensors. In fact ISO denotes the sensitivity of the image sensor to the amount of light it is exposed to. Which gives a fair ...
...big deal. ABOUT OLYMPUS µ [MJU:] 1050 SW. The Olympus µ 1050 SW is lovely little camera. It claims to absorb the shock of fall from a 1.5 meter height, capable of withstanding the pressusre of water at a depth of 3 meters. Goddamn sturdy.

...don't want to compromise the quality of your pictures, don't hesitate just go for it. Here's something that might interest you: All shutter delay times were about standard. A single photo took 0.32 seconds while five clocked 15.08 seconds. With flash, times were 0.55 seconds for one photo and 16.09 seconds for five. That's pretty good wouldn't you agree ...
