  • New 2m shockproofing and wide angle lens for even broader shooting capability

    Fashioned for everyday punishment, the Tough 1030SW is the toughest camera on the market yet. Offering robust shockproof, waterproof, and pressure-resistant construction, the new sleek and stylish frame is not only ideal for capturing those perfect party moments but it takes outdoor use and underwater adventure to a new level with its new Underwater Movie mode.

    The camera's feature set has also evolved since the introduction of its predecessor, the Tough 795SW, and now includes a 3.6x optical zoom lens that brings 28mm wide-angle shooting capability to the Tough series for the first time. Perfect for photographing vast landscapes and groups of people, the extended wide-angle view is also great for shooting underwater. High-quality, high-definition imaging is provided by a 10-megapixel CCD and an exclusive Olympus TruePic III image processor.

    Even more rugged, impact- and pressure-resistant structure

    A new impact-absorbing mechanism has also been developed to improve impact resistance and further protect the mirror frame. Positioned between the body and the mirror frame, the new mechanism enables the Tough 1030SW to pass drop-impact tests from a height of two metres, or higher than eye level for the average adult male. The perimeter of the body is further protected by a stainless steel frame capable of withstanding pressures of up to 100 kgf .

    Waterproof to a depth of 10 metres, snowproof to -10°C

    Reinforced to withstand water pressure at all key points, the Tough 1030SW is waterproof to depths of up to 10 metres, enabling divers or snorkellers to enjoy the world of underwater photography without using a protective housing. Further, the Tough 1030SW captures true-to-life underwater colour in movies as well as still pictures, with the new Underwater Movie mode.
