We can call this camera as one of the roughest and toughest cameras on the market. The 1030 SW is shockproof to 6.6 feet, waterproof to 33 feet, freezeproof to 14 degrees Fahrenheit, and survive under pressure up to 220 pounds. It has a 3.6x wide-angle zoom lens and a 35mm-equivalent focal range of 28mm-102mm.
Olympus Stylus 1030 SW is designed with full metal bodied and its dimensions are 3.7×0.8×2.4 inch (WxDxH) and 6 oz. Scuba divers should note that underwaterproof time is limited to one hour. If wanna take the camera deeper or on an extended dive, check out Olympus’ underwater housing for the 1030 SW. But remember this camera can’t swim.
Gaskets and O-rings at this camera will keep out water, snow, sand, dirt and other assorted tiny debris that would wreak havoc. This camera lacks an optical viewfinder. But its advantages are 2.7-inch, 230K-dot LCD features a wide angle of view and, with its five-step brightness adjustment (very useful for several situations).
Stylus 1030 SW provides buttons to make an easy and fast changes for white balance, ISO, drive mode, metering, and image quality. The 1030 SW also offers the requisite Auto, Program AE, and Movie modes along with a variety of scene modes, including special underwater options. A new users can use guide menu to help operating 1030 SW. The Guide offers options and automatically set the camera for whatever selection we make.

The 1030 SW’s start-up time is not too bad, almost two seconds between shots without flash and more than double that with the flash. At only 0.8 second, the burst mode won’t keep up with action. But autofocus is fairly responsive and its shot lag of 0.5 second under optimal conditions and 0.6 second in dim, is minimal.
