The 1050SW is a new addition to Olympus's rugged Tough Smart range of compact digital cameras, designed to withstand outdoor use.
While previous models in the range have a sporty, unisex design, the 1050SW is the first Tough Smart digital camera to attempt a more stylish look and feel.
Olympus says the camera is aimed at young families and active women, which is fairly obvious through the sleek styling and colour choices for the chassis (silver, pale pink, black, pale gold and dark blue).
However the 1050SW still incorporates the hardy specifications of its predecessors in the Olympus Tough Smart range. It is claimed to be shockproof to 1.5m, waterproof to 3m and snowproof to -10 degrees Celsius.
It features a 10.1-megapixel CCD as well as face detection and shadow adjust technologies - in fact, the Olympus 1050SW will recognised up to 16 individual faces, even when shooting outdoors.
Another new feature is "tap control". This allows you to play back a photo simply by tapping anywhere on the exterior of the camera.
The Olympus Tought Smart 1050SW compact digital camera carries a recommended retail price of $399.
