Olympus Mju Stylus Tough 6000 Review

Imaging Resource have reviewed the new Olympus Mju Stylus Tough 6000 - a compact 10 megapixel camera, with a wide angle 3.6x optical zoom lens, 2.7" screen, image stabilisation, tap controls and tough credentials, namely it's shockproof to 1.5m, waterproof to 3m, and feezeproof to -10. It is available in lime, blue, orange, and silver for £189:

"The Olympus Stylus Tough 6000 competes well in many areas against other rugged/waterproof camera models. We think our sample had a tilted sensor chip, as its images were very soft in one corner, the softness extending far into the frame. Were it not for that particular defect, its image quality was competitive in the category. It's also stylish, combines ruggedness with a waterproof rating of 10 feet, and it offers optical image stabilization as well."

We've just published our review of the new Olympus Mju Stylus Tough 8000 - a compact 12 megapixel camera, with a wide angle 3.6x optical zoom lens, 2.7" screen, image stabilisation, tap controls and tough credentials, namely it's shockproof to 2m, waterproof to 10m, crushproof, and feezeproof to -10. It is available in blue, black, and silver for £250 from Amazon:

"The camera has quite rich, saturated, pleasing colours. There was good detail, and the camera took a number of pleasing images outside, with good contrast, with little or no chromatic aberations and purple fringing. In general 'normal' quality jpeg artefacts are not easily seen, however areas with strong contrasts benefit from use of the highest quality setting. Images are slightly soft, with some slight corner softness, but nothing too worrying."
