I have owned an Olympus 1030 for a few years and the thing has been bullet
proof. So much so that I had a hard time reading the model number.
Mine uses an Olympus chip that is pricey but I understand the newer models
use regular SD cards. I taken mine hiking and dropped it, used it
underwater and at times it's even been covered with mud. It's been biking,
river running with me and the camera out of the raft a good part of the
time.
It's been with me Camel jockeying in the Middle East and up the Andes in
Peru. The pictures are good if not great but certainly very usable. No
RAW function but
I can easily get 11x14's.
