Review of the Olympus Stylus 1050SW by an Everyday User

Silver Springs Park

First I want let you know this is not going to be a technical review (go to stevesdigicams if you want that), this is going to be a review that I feel the average shopper can find useful…

I bought this camera because I wanted something  I could take hiking, camping, kayaking, and use every day and not have to worry about it.  The Stylus SW line is a water proof line of cameras. The 1050 is water proof up to 10 feet and can be used in temperatures below freezing.  The 1030sw is good to 33 feet and adds a shock rating  to withstand falls from 6 feet.  But you will have to spend about a hundred extra bucks for the features.

Weight in Week 8 & More

The last month or so has been a little crazy with lots of overtime, Christmas, vacation, ect.  I have been eating poorly and have got back in the habit of dining out… I have to get back in the habit of cooking at home and making lunches for work.  I also have to get down to the gym and sign up.  So I gained back 8 pounds over the holiday crazyness.  I figured I would see 5 or so…  To gain 8 pounds and have a great vacation is fine by me… Is this the wrong way of thinking?

I am setting some goals for 2009:

1. I want to be at or under 200lbs for 2010
2. I want to be able to run a 10k on new years day 2010

So 80 lbs in 52 weeks, I think that is doable.  If I follow the couch to 5k program I think a 10k is fairly doable… only time will tell.
