Waterproof Digital Camera

Feeling a little adventurous? Here’s a waterproof digital camera that appears to be designed for even the most extreme lifestyles. The Olympus Stylus 1030 SW Silver is a 10.1 mega pixel digital camera that is waterproof, freezeproof, dustproof, crushproof and shockproof. According to Olympus, it’s ok to take the Olympus Stylus 1030 SW in the pool or even in the ocean up to 33 feet. As far as other measures of durability, the Stylus digital camera is shockproof up to 6.6 feet, freezeproof to 14 degrees, and can withstand up to 220 pounds of pressure before it gives up the ghost.

This underwater digital camera also features a 3.6X wide angle lens, 5X zoom, and a 2.7 inch LCD screen. It retails for around $349. Might be a good way to get started in underwater digital photography without a gigantic investment in equipment. See an interactive video of the Olympus Stylus 1030 SW.
