Stylus 1050SW, revisited

This is definitely the high point of the week for this blogger. It’s all downhill from here. Why? Because Olympus was kind enough to loan us a 1050SW so we could demonstrate the shock-proofiness and water-proofiness of that little beast. That’s right, you saw us smack it around here, now see us put the thing through the fun tests.

To review, the 1050SW is a Stylus Olympus digital camera sporting 10 megapixels, a 3x optical zoom, and an attitude that lets you know it ain’t scared of nothin’. Sure, it shuns the more likable SD memory cards in favor of xD, but read the specs below and you might soon forgive it.

It claims water-proof to 10 feet, shock-proof from 5 feet, and freeze-proof down to 14 degrees Fahrenheit. Now, while it is rather chilly here in the Circle City, it’s not down to 14 degrees yet, so we can’t vouch for that last one, but after today we’ll vouch anywhere for those first two.

So, two videos below, one a standard Raw Footage, the other filmed by our demo 1050SW as we filmed the main one. A camera, a floor, a coffee pot full of water, and a lot of awesome went into the making of these videos. Be sure to watch them both.
