Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Olympus Stylus 1030SW 10.1MP Digital Camera with 3.6x Optical Wide Angle Zoom (Black)
Customer Review: Replace Seals Every 6 months!
Summary: 3 Stars
I've had great fun with this camera in pools, rivers, lakes, hot springs and oceans for just over a year. Yep, just long enough for the warranty to run out. I researched this camera quite a bit before buying it and at the time the main problems mentioned in online forums seemed to be about accidentally leaving the card covers open before or while submersing it. I bought the silicone skin to be sure the card covers couldn't be accidentally opened and thought everything was good.
Then I was in the water with it and got a "Card-cover open" error. I held it out of the waves, got to shore, the card covers were NOT open but yes, there was a tiny drop of water in there. I dried out the camera, the card works fine in other cameras. But the error won't reset and go away.
I called Olympus and the tech said that it's well documented in the manuals that ALL the seals on ALL waterproof cameras must be changed out every 6 months! Olympus will do this for $29.95 and you pay shipping both directions. I usually read manuals pretty thoroughly and I never saw any mention of this at all. The tech said that now that it's damaged the repair bill will be $107. and that will include fixing everything and replacing all the seals.
It's a fun camera but new seals every 6 months? Makes an underwater housing sound like a better deal.
