Olympus TG-810

Looks like Olympus has delivered the final word on TOUGH cameras with the TG-810. It’s waterproof (to a depth of 10m), shockproof (from a height drop of 2m), freezeproof (down to -10°C) and crushproof (up to 100kg weight). Most tough cameras nowadays do not feature a lens barrier, but the TG-810 does, protecting the lens from potential breakage from a fall. The manometer for checking depth underwater is back for those who does lots of diving. It also features an improved TAP Control Mode for controlling the camera by tapping or tilting the body, useful when wearing gloves. The 5x wide optical zoom (28-140mm) is important for wide-angle shots and to allow you to get close when underwater. New is the addition of a GPS & Electronic Compass with unique three-sensor technology for orientation and key information at a glance. Also new is the 3D photo shooting mode. The 3.0-in. LCD gains a high 921k-dot resolution and the camera now features Eye-Fi Card compatibility for automatic wireless uploading of images to a website or PC.
