Comments about Olympus Stylus 1050SW Digital Camera - Black:

I've used this camera for some time now, everything from candid family shots to travel shots. It's rugged enough for me to carry around in my pocket, which I do at times when a camera case isn't convenient.(even at very low temperatures) This has enabled me to get some great sunrise and sunset shots while on break at work. ISO can be adjusted easily so grain isn't a great problem. It's a lot of camera in a small package. The only thing I'd recommend is getting an extra battery. Abes carries one that has a longer lasting life than the original battery that comes in the package. Abes and Olympus, what a team!!!

Comments about Olympus Stylus 1050SW Digital Camera - Black:

The fact that you can take this camera underwater is alone worth the money. It's a well-built camera as well. Picture quality is what you should expect of a camera in that price range. I'm disappointed with the features though. Some of the picture settings don't work as advertised (anti-glare was the biggest disappointment).
Overall, this camera is a great "bang for the buck" and with its slim design, it's great to take on trips.

Still adjusting to it

Comments about Olympus Stylus 1050SW Digital Camera - Black:

The pictures are grainy even when at the max of 10 megapixels. Battery life is average. Slower than my Sony at focusing and taking a second picture.

Great I love it!
