5 out of 5 stars Present for the wife   May 20, 2008
My wife has the habit of sitting on cameras and cell phones or putting them through the washer. I bought this camera for that reason. She loves the camera. It does great macros of her flowers and great all around shots. It is the first electronic item that she has found easy to operate. For what I bought it for is gets 5 stars.


5 out of 5 stars great all around...can take it anywhere and the pictures are amazing   May 20, 2008

1 out of 5 stars Battery Charging   May 18, 2008
  1 out of 3 found this review helpful

I will have to return this camera unless I am seriously not understanding something. I plugged my fully-charged camera into my laptop via USB and within 20 minutes the battery was completely dead.

Then I noticed page 62 on the Instruction Manual where is says: During the conditions described below, power is consumed continuously and the battery becomes exhausted quickly: - The camera is connected to a computer or printer.

So, connecting the 1030 via USB doesn't charge the battery as anyone with a cell phone or PDA would expect, it actually kills it! Quickly! Connecting the camera and getting distracted for a few minutes means you have a dead battery and no more shooting for 2-3 hours while recharge it! This has to be the dumbest "feature" I've ever seen on an electronic device. Am I just missing something?



3 out of 5 stars Waterproof vs. Image Quality   May 15, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Purchased Olympus 1030SW mainly for waterproof/freezer/drop features. My vacations are watersports and wintersports. So now I don't have to worry about climate and environment factors effecting my pictures or making sure the camera is inside a ziploc bag.
BUT ... the image quality is sacrificed. My old Canon S400 4MP camera image quality is better, I mean way better. Sharper + better color. Even the Canon flash pictures don't look so "white". Since I don't print anything bigger than 5x7, I can live with it for now.



1 out of 5 stars fails in four hours   May 13, 2008

We bought an Olympus 1030 for a family trip to the Florida keys which included some snorkling. The camera quit working half way thru the trip with only 3 to 4 hours in water. We were very dissapointed and missed a lot of good photo opps. It is going back.
