I can't speak for the 1030, but I have the 790SW.
I'm truly surprised it's still going. Mine shows visible signs of abuse. I use it for snowboard/skiing, and regularly make a 'tripod' out of snow. I take it for ocean kayak training where it spends hours in and under the water, or dangling from my kayak attached to the deck rigging. I clip it to front rack of my ATV when we go offroading, and usually have to spend time cleaning mud out of it.
Mine has dents, scratches, nice scars, and I have yet to be disappointed in the pictures it takes.
That's just my experience abusing it though.
