 The Olympus Stylus 1030 SW isn't about taking magazine-quality pictures. It's about dragging it through 14-degree weather, 30-feet of water and then accidentally dropping it, all without concern for its survival. If the camera's durability meets a specific need, then it's a good choice for rough-and-tumble shooting. If you just need a compact camera, then you'd probably do better to look for a normal point-and-shoot. They may be wimpier, but they do take better pictures. Release: March 2008. Price: $400.
Pros: Tough as Conan the Barbarian; possibly tougher. Cool little mode-wheel on back. Helpful panorama modes.
Cons: Clumsy interface. Only supports xD and microSD. Making features proprietary to Olympus xD cards is underhanded. Image quality poor for this price range.
