Usually, if you want to take pictures underwater, you have to buy a regular camera and a dedicated underwater housing to go with it. But the [mju:] 1050SW comes fully waterproofed from the start - not that you'd think so to look at it. It's a very sm...

It’s always a welcome surprise when we get a chance to really beat up on a product and that’s exactly what we do to Olympus’ ’tough’ range of cameras. The latest unit, the Tough 1050SW, is an upgrade to the Tough 850SW and provides a 10-megapixel senso...

Unfortunately the Tough 1050SW is a bit of a step backwards in the otherwise excellent tough series. Its extreme levels of haloing are problematic and the overall performance is downright slow. The tap control system is pretty innovative, however, and...

Shockproof to 5 feet and waterproof 10 means you can bang it on the edge of the pool as you fall in with no harm done. Tap feature lets you change settings without futzing with buttons, and the camera can handle alpine frigidity with aplomb. Comes with a...

Lens cover slides more easily than Ricky Henderson. The battery is easily inserted backwards, making you think it's dead or the camera is malfunctioning. Weak zoom and poor macro ability; this camera could use a bifocal upgrade...

Its stylish and "Lifeproof", but will Olympus latest compact camera live to see another day after our rigorous tests? Get the answer in our icy Olympus Stylus 1050 SW review.

Good-looking camera. Survived most endurance tests. Good menu system...

Failed Freeze test. Less than desirable image quality. Uninviting interface...

The Olympus Stylus 1050 SW failed to impress us on many fronts, and thats not just because the camera died a ghastly death when we submerged it in a block of ice as part of our "Freezeproof" test. The Stylus 1050 SW survived a couple menacing plumme...

Earlier this year, Olympus impressed us with its waterproof Stylus 1030 SW, a capable pocket camera that delivers solid image quality. Moreover, its rugged, compact design can withstand the elements, including extreme cold. Trouble is, wearing glove...

Waterproof, shockproof, freezeproof. Built-in accelerometer and "tap controls" let you activate some features by tapping. Descriptive menus and features are very intuitive and helpful for beginners.

Long shutter delay. Long wait time between shots. Sharpness weakens at image edges. Noticeable color fringing. ISO speeds 400 to 1600 are very noisy. LCD shows significant motion blur.

Waterproofing, ruggedizing, and a unique "tap-control" feature dont make up for subpar image quality and long shutter lag in this Olympus point-and-shooter...
