Being clumsy cowhands, we always love to hear about tough technology. If the Olympus mju 790 was the Steve McQueen of cameras -- rugged, but great-looking -- then the mju 1030 SW is Charles Bronson. With its exposed screws and robust black trim, this is a knockabout camera for the dusty trail.
The 10-megapixel 1030 SW is waterproof to 10m and will survive drops from 2m, freezing to temperatures as low as -10 deg C, and being trampled with up to 100kg. It comes in silver, black and British racing green duds. You also get a 3.6x wide zoom, equivalent to 28-102mm on a 35mm camera.
The 1030 SW will be available from February 2008 for £320, with its equally sturdy little pardner the mju 850 SW costing £230.
