Olympus Mju Stylus 1050SW Review

Cameralabs.com have reviewed the new Olympus Mju Stylus 1050SW - the ultra compact 10 megapixel camera is waterproof to 3m, shockproof to 1.5m, freezeproof to -10c, and features a 3x optical zoom lens, face detection, shadow adjustment, perfect shot preview, and 2.7" screen. It is available in black, gold, silver, pink and blue for £174

"The 1050 SW doesn’t mess too much with a winning formula, taking the earlier 850 SW, slightly boosting its resolution and screen size, while adding tap controls. That’s essentially about it though, and while it may have been sufficient without serious competition, Pentax has really taken the bull by the horns with its latest Optio W60."

"The latest edition to the range, the Tough Smart 1050SW, is certainly no exception. If the 10.1 mega pixels, 3 times optical zoom and built-in digital image stabilisation isn’t enough to steal your initial interest, then certainly the 3 meter waterproof, 1.5 meter shockproof, and minus 10 degree snowproof capabilities will be."

The camera is available in Silver, White, Pink and Blue for £199:

"When it comes to picture quality, shutter design and the majority of features the MJU 1060 is a fairly typical point and shoot digital camera. The main attraction is the 7x optical zoom lens in a compact body. This is a very handy feature in a smaller digital camera."

"Without doubt the main attraction of the Olympus MJU 1050SW is its robustness. If you are looking for a family camera or just one you can use around the pool and on ski slopes then the picture quality is fine for snapshots. It is a concern that the camera is so slow to take a photo and this could certainly cause you to miss photo opportunities."

"A fantastic camera? No, but the Olympus MJU 1040 puts up a solid showing. The camera is one of the best looking at this price point and will slip easily into a pocket. Picture quality could go up a notch or two here and there, but I think this camera offers fair value for money."

"Overall, I found the Olympus Mju1040 to be great value, feature rich and very high in resolution for the relatively cheap price tag. Most people will find the camera’s styling quite appealing whilst also having a little fun when using the mirror finish on the front sliding panel as a handy help for framing for party headshots or just whacking on a little bit of lippy in the reflection."

"Unfortunately, maybe the Stylus 1040 is too 'social event' oriented, in my opinion, that it forgets about other things in life. It lacks full-resolution 10 MP continuous shooting; although that's compensated with a VERY fast 14 FPS burst mode (only at 3 megapixels, mind you). The below average battery life means you won't be taking the camera on long holiday trips without an extra battery and the charger."

"The Olympus 1030 SW is both a treat and a disappointment. We love the idea of a camera we can mistreat in a wide range of difficult shooting situations without having to worry about babying our gear. It's small and portable enough to go where an SLR would be a burden, and easy to handle quickly, even if you're wearing gloves (we tried) or warding off barracuda (we didn't, but we're confident nonetheless). And while image quality wasn't stellar, it was certainly acceptable for a compact camera."

The Olympus Stylus 1030SW also offers a nice selection of features that are helpful for novices and snapshooters. You won't find the best image quality, although if you don't look too closely you'll be happy with prints up to 8x10 inches at lower ISOs; and you can still get decent 5x7's as long as you don't go above ISO 800."

"How one rates the Olympus Stylus 1030SW depends on how you view it. If you view it as an ultra-compact camera, it's average, at best. However, your typical ultra-compact can't take nearly the beating that the 1030SW can. It can be dropped, dunked in water, stepped on, and frozen, without missing a beat. If you need a camera that can handle those sort of things, then you'll have to be willing to accept the 1030SW's tradeoffs -- namely, mediocre image quality."
