What's Hot

3m waterproof and 1.5m shockproof, can survive in low temperatures, tap controls

What's Not

Lots of chromatic aberration, extremely slow shot-to-shot and burst modes

The Final Word

Unfortunately the Tough 1050SW is a bit of a step backwards in the otherwise excellent tough series. Its extreme levels of haloing are problematic and the overall performance is downright slow. The tap control system is pretty innovative, however, and the pictures are good aside from the chromatic aberration.
