Good image quality with low noise. Water-, freeze-, drop-, and crush-proof. Tap-enabled interface. Lens is protected by a retracting shield. 2GB of internal storage. In-camera manual and guide.

Pricey. Images are soft towards the outer areas of the frame. Noticeable shutter lag. Long delays between shots. LCD shows motion blur.

The Chuck Norris of point-and-shoots — virtually indestructible. More functions than we know what to do with. No casing needed to take pictures under the sea

Shutter is prohibitively slow. Photo quality not on par with similar rugged cameras. Menu system needs a serious overhaul

Extremely rugged for a compact; very good feature set; full, built-in user manual; 1.6GB of internal memory for photos, video.

Frustratingly slow performance; soft photos; pricey.

The Olympus Stylus Tough 8010 is rugged on the outside, but average on the inside.

Toughest compact camera money can buy ; Full SD/SDHC support ; HD video recording ; Many improvements over the previous model

Can't save high-quality JPEGs in Program mode ; Image quality only just OK ; Double-locking battery and card door can be fiddly

The Tough 8010 is an improvement on the older Tough 8000 camera, and is the strongest compact that money can buy. Still, its slow performance means you will miss critical action shots so do bear this in mind, and image quality is average.
