The Olympus Stylus Tough 8000 is one of the more hardy rugged cameras in the current market. This little 12 megapixel camera is waterproof, shockproof, freezeproof and crushproof. So you can definitely bring the Stylus Tough 8000 on your next visit to Alaska or sit down and have lunch without having to pull the camera out of your back pocket first.
There’s a 3.6X wide-angle zoom lens and a sharp, bright 2.7 inch LCD display. An LED lamp on the front helps to provide illumination for movies, low light and macro shots. Despite the very good build quality and nice design, the Stylus Tough 8000 still suffers from button clutter on the back. Olympus’ well-implemented Tap Control helps (especially when wearing gloves) but does not solve the issue of small, cluttered buttons entirely since it doesn’t cover all of the camera’s functions.
