If you are asking Santa for a new camera this Christmas, then make sure to list the best of the best. While most point-and-shoot owners are eyeing pimped-out DSLRs, there are a few water sports lovers (like me), who are hoping St. Nick brings them an Olympus waterproof camera.
Olympus is one of the most reputable names in the world of photography and is known for its outstanding line of waterproof cameras. Its current waterproof Stylus series offers more innovative features than many of its competitors and leads the market in sales. Some of the most popular models include:
Stylus 1050 SW
This digital camera is no joke. It is built tough and features a revolutionary system of waterproof seals and gaskets, which keeps the camera’s guts protected. It can even survive a five-foot fall onto concrete. Water enthusiasts will love that the rugged digital camera is small enough to fit in the palm of their hand and can take pictures as deep as 10 feet underwater. It also withstands cold temperatures as low as 14 degrees Fahrenheit.
Other top features include:
Tap Control: Since the camera’s body is touch-sensitive, glove-wearing photographers, including skiers and snowboarders, can keep their mitts on when snapping photos.
Face Detection: The 1050 SW automatically focuses on faces and optimizes exposures.
Lens Cover: No electronic lens cover here. The 1050 SW does away with electronic versions that typically jam when exposed to water, and features a manual cover instead.
Stylus 1030 SW
The Olympus 1030 SW is a marketed as a water lover’s dream machine. Its amazing features include:
*Waterproof to a depth of 33 feet
*Shockproof against falls from six feet
*Freezeproof to temperatures as low as 14 Fahrenheit
*Crushproof to weights of up to 220 pounds
*Dustproof
*Scratchproof
The lightweight digital camera also features a sophisticated metal exterior available in a variety of stylish colors: Platinum Silver, Midnight Black and British Green. The 1030 SW also comes with a 10.1 megapixel sensor, which gives users the flexibility to crop shots later without compromising color or clarity.
