    Harder than a Phil Mitchell/Hulk Hogan tag team, this 12-megapixel snapper can withstand almost anything the elements can chuck at it – but is it equally impressive in the photo department? Read more

    The Myu Tough 8000 is an extension of Olympus' collection of all-terrain cameras and it's definitely a step in the right direction, with a wide-angle lens, better grip and more responsiveness. It still lags behind land-based digital cameras, but good performance underwater wins it an extra star. Read more

    This is a robust digital camera at home around water or on the ski slopes. It is also drop proof and crush proof. It takes a good picture and is worth a good look if you are after a digital camera anyone in the family can use. Read more

    The Olympus μTough-8000 is the ideal companion for photographers with an active outdoor life. Designed to be used both underwater and for normal photography, the μTough-8000 is waterproof down to 10 meters and even has a built-in pressure gauge that indicates its actual depth. The camera is shock-proof against drops onto hard surfaces from a height of up to 2 meters, and those who enjoy winter sports will find they can use the camera in temperature of minus 10°C. Many...

    Perfect "wet" camera you can get My wife and I had been looking for a camera to take with us boating, swimming and various other wet activities. We saw some older "wet" models at the store for an attractive price, however when we saw the Olympus tough-8000, we fell in love. The tough-8000 is great looking, great performing and all around awesome! With most "wet" digital cameras you have the depth rating of either 10ft or 33ft - this camera has the 33ft rating. On top of... Read more

    I have always had good experiences with Olympus cameras and this model is no exception. This 10-megapixel camera is small, lightweight, very easy to use and produces some really great pictures. The only downside is that like a lot ... Read more

    I've had this camera for 6 months now, it's been in all weather conditions, and it still works perfectly! There are many different settings for all lighting environments, including the underwater setting which takes GREAT PHOTOS. No water has gotten in, and it doesn't even have a scratch on it (and I've dropped it many times already). Great purchase. Read more

    This review is from: Olympus Mju Tough 8000 Compact Digital Camera - Midnight Black (12MP, 3.6x Wide Zoom) 2.7 inch LCD (Electronics) I bought the Mju Tough 8000 to replace my Panasonic Lumix that had malfunctioned due to the sand, grit and dust entering the body of the camera whilst I was in the Middle East. I reasoned that if the camera was waterproof then it would also be dustproof and it passed that test. The camera is sold as shockproof and it also passed this test!... Read more

    I bought this camera to take backpacking with me, mainly due to its claims of being tough and durable, after seeing and being sucked in by the advertisement with the child throwing it in mud and rinsing it under a water tap. I've now had it for months, taking it on my travels with me, and have had no problems with it whatsoever. I have so far: ... dropped it off a balcony (it has the tinest of scratch marks on it, after falling 3 floors) ...dropped a 30kg suitcase on top... Read more
