Olympus Stylus SW 850 or 1030?

Question

I'm looking to buy either one, i just don't know which one is the better deal. The 1030 has 10.1 megapixels and upgraded features, but it's $100 more, while the 850 has 8.0 megapixels.

I'm upgrading from a 5 megapixel cannon powershot that has seen better days. It still works, I just want a newer , waterproof/ shockproof digital camera.

any advice? thanks.

The 850 is a really nice camera, I have a Panasonic TZ5 and I was looking at the Olympus. The 1030 doesnt really have much more in the way of picture quality than the 850.
