I bought this to shoot photos of whales right from the water surface as a substitute for a Dicapac waterproof case, which proved NOT to be waterproof upon testing. I care for: Waterproof down to 33ft, Freeze resistant down to 14°F, Shockproof from drops of up to 6.6ft, Crushproof up to 220lbs. Tap control for easy camera control when pressing the small buttons is not possible, 5x optical zoom lens, especially the 2GB internal memory and One-Touch video recording button, zoom from 28mm wide to the 140mm telephoto - I do not care about the 4 creative art filters and the 14-Megapixel imaging sensor which shows noise already at medium ISO settings. You do not have too many choices for a camera with all those features, and I can recommend the Olympus Stylus Tough 8010 as a go anywhere compact addition to Pro or Semi Pro equipment as well as a stand alone compact P&S, if you weigh in at the “Tough” part. It came out with a MSRP of 399.00, which is too high IMO, however since time goes on, prices become much more reasonable. Get a second battery and a in car 12V charger!Read full review
Overall a pretty great camera. Is heavy and durable but doesn't look like a 'dinosaur' camera. Takes great pictures and has various settings. My main complaint is that I still am having difficulty taking photos in low light with this camera. So far, my best bet has been on the 'magic' setting. If anyone has any better suggestions for low light camera settings let me know. Awesome camera!
A perfect upgrade to an already awesome camera. This Camera defies ruggedness and outdoor usefulness. It has every feature one could ask for and more. Being a current owner of the Stylus Touch 6020, I was more than keen to upgrade to the better version since my current was great in every way except for its depth capabilities. I have not managed to take one bad photo with this Camera as of yet. Its always with me, in my pocket ready for that perfect picture, be it swimming, running, Quad biking, Kayaking, Fishing, heck even Paintball, it soaks it all up in its stride and works flawlessly every time. Its only negative is it suffers from slower than normal start up times, but given the design and other features it is something that I can definitely overlook. I recommend this to any sports person that wants a good solid reliable camera that is not scared of water or mud, vibration or shocks.Read full review
I absolutely love this camera so far. I used it to take some of my pictures for my senior prom and they looked really good for the price of the camera. The waterproof capability is simply amazing. I haven't used it much in constant water exposure but just the fact I can get a little fish slime on it and simply wash it off is awesome! The interface is also very user friendly. Since I'm a guy and I don't want a lot of complicated settings to worry with, the camera gives a brief description when you cycle between different settings that tells you exactly what that setting would be useful for. I bought this camera to go with me on my outdoor adventures and not have to worry about getting it wet or dropping it. With this camera I'm sure I won't have to worry about either of those things
I own a Stylus 1030 and just upgraded to the 8010. The improvements are awesome and the right ones. Don't let the body tap feature scare you; it can be turned off. Pic quality is great and the ability to take the camera on the motorcycle, in the pool or ocean (yes I have had it underwater)without worries is the best. Battery life is excellent and Olympus has switched to the SD card for storage. Outstanding product.
