µ[mju:] 1030 SW

It's extremely tough: The 'lifeproof' digital camera No other camera is this tough. The µ[mju:] 1030 SW is shockproof to 2m, waterproof to 10m, freezeproof to -10°C and even crushproof to an astounding 100kg! With a scratchproof metal exterior in a choice of Platinum Silver, Midnight Black and British Green, this model is always ready for action – especially since its 3.6x wide optical zoom (equiv. to 28-102mm) uses an inner-folded optical path for lens protection during high action. What’s more, a 10.1 Megapixel sensor delivers superb images any place or any time, while an extra large 2.7"/6.9cm HyperCrystal II LCD provides a wider viewing angle plus a brighter view – even in direct sunlight. The new LI-50B lithium ion battery is also included to extend shooting fun even further.
