—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...

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...
