The Olympus Mju Tough 8000 packs a lot of features into a very small package... yet I feel that theyve gone too far by trying to cram a 12 megapixel sensor into such a small camera - the Olympus Mju 1030 worked perfectly with a 10 megapixel sensor wit...

This is a camera that means business. Its able to withstand 10m of water pressure, drops from 2m and being crushed under 100kg. Thats around 16 stone, so depending on your burger intake, you can probably tread on it without fear of damage. The rec...

The Olympus Stylus TOUGH-8000 wins the ruggedized camera competition hands-down. It's usable at a greater depth than the competition, it's drop-proof, dustproof, and weatherproof specs meet the competition, and it's crushproof to boot. If you're lookin...

There's no doubt that the Olympus Stylus Tough 8000 is a tough little camera. It can handle water to 33 feet, be dropped from 6 feet and temperatures down to a chilly 14 Fahrenheit and still keep taking photos. So it would not have a problem survivi...

—Rugged devices But the most impressive and probably overlooked feature of the Tough-8000 is that it has tap sensors that can be enabled. This is great if you happen to be wearing a heavy jacket or some type of thick underwater gear. Just because your...

With underwater scenery often more spectacular than whats above the surface, its a pity that your typical point-and-shoot camera cant take to the seas. Luckily, ruggedized, waterproof cameras, like the 12-megapixel Olympus Stylus Tough-8000 ($379...

Ruggedized body protects camera from drops of up to 6.6 feet. Waterproof to 33 feet. Automatic lens cover keeps fingerprints and debris off the lens. Four underwater shooting modes. Tap controls for easy operation while wearing gloves.
Subpar image quality. No HD-video capture. Storage is limited to microSD and xD-Picture Card.
Underwater cameras often come with tradeoffs: In the case of the Tough-8000, its handy, innovative tap controls are offset by underwhelming image quality and a steep price tag...

The Tough-8000 has 45M of internal memory, so it can store quite a few moderately sized pictures on its own. It takes both an xD-Picture Card (1G or 2G), or a microSD chip, as you would expect. The Tough-8000 doesn’t break new ground because the 1030...

While it was a close call between the Canon D10 versus Panasonic TS1, the Olympus Stylus Tough 8000 takes a rather far-off, third place in our rugged camera test.

Taking into account how the cameras stack up against each other, the Panasonic Lumix TS1/Lumix FT1 is the overall winner, coming out on top in almost every aspect, including image quality. No doubt the Lumix TS1 costs a little more than the other rugg...
