Olympus µ[MJU:] 1030 SW

...in your pocket) The Olympus Mju 1030 ticked that box - it's shock proof and metal cased. It obviously gets pretty cold on the top of those mountains, so I was looking for something that could handle the elements - another tick, the Mju is resistant to cold up to - 10 degrees. I wanted something that looked good. I am a gadget fan, but whats the point of having one if you are embarrassed to get it out of your pocket. The Mju again ticks this box ...
...to be the only thing Olympus hadn't thought of. It is expensive. I paid £235 + another £12 for a memory card, but I'm looking at this bad boy lasting. If I can get 5 years out of it and 100's of memories then it will have been a bargain. I love it and if you are looking to tick all the same boxes as me then I am more than happy to recommend it. ...

Review of Olympus µ[MJU:] 1030 SW

...I already have an Olympus E-510 with a 14-54mm zoom lens that produces good quality pics, but is not puddle-proof. It does use XD cards though so I already had some to use in the 1030SW - No card is supplied with the 1030SW (These Xd type M version cards are available at about £8.50 for a 1g) A 1g Xd card in the 1030SW set to max resolution gives you 205 shots. So seeing the Olympus 1030SW I was 1st drawn to its waterproof quality etc. I did ...
...convenient than my Leica or Olympus E-510, just a bit bigger than a mobile phone. Also when using camera the lens does not stick out even when using the zoom, You can start producing pics immediately after charging the supplied battery that takes about 1.5 hours. After reading the manual you find other features like face recognition and an image stabilizer that are a surprise, to me on such a small camera. There's even an alarm clock and a manometer ...

Review of Olympus µ[MJU:] 1030 SW

At first when i got this camera I loved it, it takes really good clear photographs, and in water too, I got some really cool shots in my swimming pool.. HOWEVER the battery cover somehow opened and water got inside and all of a sudden that was it. Never worked again, and before you think, it was carelessness, it was not, I was very careful and at the end of the day it’s meant to be an active sporty camera. So anyway cut a long story short, i sent ...
...However the result came back telling me 'it was due to my carelessness' and they would not repair the damage. It was going to cost £230 to get it repaired. 'i paid something like £280 so i really didn’t see the point. I would not get another one, as i know a few people who this same thing has happened to. So i don’t trust them in water. And you can get a lot of cameras just as good (out of water) for much cheaper. ...

Review of Olympus µ[MJU:] 1030 SW

I love photography and known to friends as expert photographer. I have been using this camera for almost 1 year. I am satisfied of this product since this is one of a kind camera [pocket] that easily dive in water... this is amazing. I have been very careful with my other camera since i am worried that it drop and got sprinkled with water when my kids are playing with it. With this product, my kids realize that i have been kind lately since i didn't ...
...and water proof. My obsession lately is taking snap picture but still with exotic techniques, and with this small and light product i can carry it every where and take any moments that i feel is worth to take. other feature of this camera that is comfortable also is the battery stamina which is quite strong and make it very practical. With my current profession as a service consultant, i always need to take candid picture of the waiter or customer ...

Review of Olympus µ[MJU:] 1030 SW

...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 ...
