 Do not Purchase- 4 out of 5 leaked/stopped working June 28, 2009
Do not purchase this camera! This camera was purchased for a family trip to Maui and I was very excited about using it for snorkeling. The camera (black olympus 1030sw)had worked great for my father the previous year and as such 4 more cameras were purchased by friends/family (green olympus 1030sw). Within 5 days all 4 green cameras had stopped working due to water entering the supposedly water tight battery or USB compartments.
I was successfully able to use my new camera for 1 day, but upon entering the water on day 2 the camera's LCD screen stopped working.
Of the other 3 other broken cameras, 1 stopped working immediately after going underwater, 1 stopped working on the 3rd snorkel trip and the other on snorkel day 5.
While in Maui I did a quick internet search to find that this is a very common issue [...] with the Olympus 1030sw. Additionally, while on a snorkel trip to Lanai one of the deckhands on the boat overheard our conversation about the camera and indicated hers died after 10 underwater trips. She also said this has happened to many people/customers taking her snorkel tour.
The 1 functional unit in our group (black camera) was perfectly fine for a previous 2 week Hawaii trip, but within 2 days this time the black paint had began to flake off. By day 4 all of the paint was gone and on day 5 the frame that surrounds the lens on the face of the camera fell off.
Although it is cosmetically damaged, it does still function. All in all 4 of 5 cameras completely stopped working and now we will all be contacting Olympus for replacement.
CAMERA NOT WATERPROOF!!! June 26, 2009
Bought this camera for a snorkeling trip. After two days it proved not to be waterproof. I didn't go below 2 ft before getting a warning to "close the battery compartment" except I never opened it once, It had been sealed properly the 2 previous days. Camera got moisture in the compartment and now does not turn on! It remains to be seen what olympus will do about it.
 Beware of leak problems June 19, 2009
Bought this camera to take pictures while snorkeling. Tested it in a bathtub for leakage before packing for vacation, and all was well with no leaks. But after only two pictures in the water while snorkeling the camera stopped working. Maybe I should've tested it in salt water! The camera would not turn on. All I got were the dreaded chimes of death. I called Olympus service and they sent me a link to request a service repair. You have to send in a copy of your sales receipt, the warranty card, and a brief description of the problem. Sent it by priority mail (cost about $5) on the Friday after returning from vacation. Olympus made the warranty repair and returned it to me the following Friday! That was quick. They even got rid of some scratches on the camera's front black face. All works fine now, although I'm not sure that I will try it in water again! The attached repair packing slip just said "liquid damaged". So the bad news is that the camera is not necessarily water-proof, but the good news (at least for me) was the super fast warranty repair. And I agree with everyone who say that the photo quality from this camera is subpar.
Leaks!! June 19, 2009
I was super excited to take my new digital camera snorkeling. It worked great, until the last day when an error message came up saying that the battery cover was open...it was NOT open! I did notice a small amount of water inside. I called Olympus to get it fixed. They wanted to charge me the expense of sending their defective product back to them - and possibly have to pay the expense of fixing it too. Since the camera was so new, I actually took it back to the store we bought it from and they exchanged it without any problems.
Camera #2...snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. Took a number of pictures on land, jumped in the water and it stopped working. There was a trace of water inside the battery compartment.
I would NOT recommend this camera. The concept is great, but the camera is NOT waterproof.
 Absolutely amazing June 15, 2009
For underwater shooting - this is a terrific little camera for recreational use! Haven't used it for land shots much as I have another camera for that purpose - but I highly recommend it for the person who loves to spend time photographing fish - tropical or otherwise. In tougher surf, good to have the floatable wrist band as well.
Kudos to Olympus for this one!
