  • I have the same camera but I couldnt fix the problem with 10 sec limitation. I have the firmware version 1.1 and xD card 2gb type H but I cant film more than 10 secs. Someone can help me?

  • I've got the xd 2GB M+ card and it works for more than 10 secs. I've recorded 18mins of VGA video using it. Try getting an M+ card.

  • So using a SD card limits you to video of 10 seconds max? Is that still the case as of today? (Dec 2008)

  • Yes, 10 seconds max of continuous high quality video if using an SD card. Obviously you could take lots of individual 10 second vids using one SD card. You can get up to I think it is 33 mins of continuous video on the lower quality video setting. I would go for the XD M+ card.

  • I see that the largest XD M+ is 2GB? and the price per GB is a lot higher than micro SD.. I guess that's why they limit the SD to 10 seconds. Other than the XD card issue, how do you like the camera overall (photo + video quality), and would you recommend I look at the 1050 SW instead? I'm aware of the difference between the depth rating (10 vs 3m). Thanks!

  • I'm very happy with the camera. I got it for snorkeling at Sharm El Sheikh and it took fantastic underwater photos and videos. See my profile for some of the sharm videos, make sure you click on the high quality option although youtube compression still reduces their quality. There isn't much price difference between the 1050 and 1030, if you want the camera for snorkeling I would go with the 1030, its easy to go deeper than 3m.

see all

  • da uma fritada legau ai em ahahahah

  • Will a 4GB XD M+ card work in this model? I think there was something on the Olympus website about memory card compatibility.

  • awesome pond looks great :D

  • It doesnt include a wiper and I've not had a problem with marks on the lens. After you use it, you put it in clean water, open and close the lens shutter a few times to get rid of any dirt and it is good to go. There is some blurb in the instructions about the lens being dust repellant and it seems to shed water too.

  • ur fish a huge massive giant!

  • well there is a setting where it takes 2 second fotos if u cant figure it out at all just reset and wipe the whole thing
