olumpus1050sw 300x224 Olympus Stylus 1050 SW Compact Digicam is Waterproof & ShockproofOlympus’s new Stylus 1050 SW digicam looks like an ordinary compact camera, but it’s a lot tougher than your average one. The 1050 SW is shockproof up to 5 feet so it will withstand drops, bumps and other mishaps. It’s also waterproof up to 10 feet, and freezeproof up to 14 degrees farenheit. Designed for sports enthusiasts, it features Tap Control which lets you “Operate picture playback, shadow adjustment and flash mode just by tapping the top, back and sides of the camera.” This makes the 1050 SW suitable for the likes of divers and snowboarders wearing gloves. Otherwise the 1050 SW is pretty ordinary - it features 10.1MP, a 2.7″ LCD, up to 640×480 30fps movies, and a 3X optical zoom. The Olympus Stylus 1050 SW is available in the colors blue, silver, black and champagne. And if you’re in the U.K. they even have a pink version. Why no pink version for the U.S.? Ahh, well there’s always next time. You can pick one up online for around $280.
