While the Mju 1040 we showed you earlier had Swarovski crystals, the Mju 1050 SW model from Olympus comes in Gold but it’s not real gold. It’s more like Champagne Gold, which isn’t that expensive, is it? Before showing you some of the specs you’ll have to know this model will survive various shocks and even better than that, it’s water resistant.

And here are the features you were waiting for:

• High-precision 3x optical zoom (38-114 mm)
• Shockproof to 1.5m, waterproof to 3m and freeze proof to -10°C
• TAP Control Menu
• Advanced Face Detection of up to 16 persons for perfectly focused and exposed faces
• Correct exposure of other image areas
• 2.7 inch HyperCrystal II LCD
• 10.1 megapixels
• Digital Image Stabilisation
• TruePic III image processor
• Movie recording with sound (up to VGA resolution at 30fps)
• Pre-Capture Movie mode
• xD Picture Card and microSD Card compatible

Pricing and availability dates are details which will be discussed in the near or distant future, depending on when we’re going to find them out.
