Tough enough to take with you; stylish enough to show off! The Olympus Stylus Tough 8000 can be taken from skiing off mountaintops to as deep as 33 feet under the water, to capture the memories of your active lifestyle. Clad in a sleek black metal body that can absorb the shocks from drops as high as six and a half feet, its ruggedized LCD screen is durable and bright enough to be used almost anywhere.

You can operate most functions from Tap Control switches on the edge of the camera, perfect for any environment where you're wearing gloves. The In-Camera panorama feature lets you stitch together three successive shots seamlessly for flawless panoramic vistas. You can even use preview settings in the LCD window to see how various effects will change the resulting shot!

In addition to using the xD-Picture Card, the STYLUS TOUGH-8000 comes with an adapter for microSD memory card for mobile phones, PDAs and HDTVs. With a 2.7-inch LCD screen, you get an extra-wide viewing angle for easier shot composition even in direct sunlight. With this versatile set of features and solid construction, the Stylus Tough 8000 will be keeping track of your life for a long time to come!

Tech Level Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: Takes great pics, feels solid and well built.
Cons: First one failed the first time we took it underwater.. which sucks because we had to use our cheap backup camera on our trip to mexico.
Other Thoughts: Olympus replaced it and the second one works flawlessly. Definitely check that it doesn't leak right after purchasing to avoid lugging around a dead camera on your vacation.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: It is a rugged little guy, and takes decent pictures. I need a camera that will go to the beach and be tossed in my backpack without a problem. I don't like to baby my cameras and this guy can definately be knocked around a bit.
Cons: The controls or something got water in it! I took to the beach a few times jumped in the water and now the controls won't work. I cannot switch modes while the camera is on. I must turn off the camera then switch modes and turn back on. Some of the other buttons are messed up too, when trying to review pictures and moving to the next one random buttons are activated or some do not work right as well. I accidently deleted a couple pictures because of this. Sand as also got into some of the little watertight doors as well.
Other Thoughts: Do not take these cameras in the water! This is my second olympus my first being the 850sw and it got water logged as well but that one just broke. I don't like going through this whole mailing back stuff ordeal. I work in Hawaii on a ship, shipping is expensive and my time is valuable. I figured it was probably a fluke and bought another one.... Nope not waterproof at all! Actually got wet faster then the first one I bought. This is a nice rugged camera though just don't take it into the water. Disappointed by Olympus again...

Good camera, no MASD-1 adapter

white Reviewed By: on 11/2/2009

Tech Level Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Showed up quick, havent put through the paces hard core yet but pictures are clear and detail when blown up is nice. Great outdoor camera for anyone into biking, hiking, backpacking, or whatever else due to the waterproofness and shock resistance. Havent taken snowboarding yet to test its performance in the cold but its on my list.
Cons: The newegg website blurb said it came with an included MASD-1 adapter which allows you to use a micro-sd card for the memory storage (up to 8 gb storage). A previous customer review said that it did too. The package that showed up said it was supposed to have one inside the box as well. But none was there. Called newegg and they said that the pictures in their image viewer did not show a MASD-1 adapter so that meant that one was not included. I mentioned all of the other things that indicated it should have one. They disagreed. I complained. They still disagreed but gave me a small credit for the misunderstanding. Someday they may fix the confusion but for now, dont expect a MASD-1 card adapter to come with the camera. Found out that the panorama function does not work with the micro-sd cards anyway. So if 2gb is enough memory storage for you (max memory for the xd picture card from olympus) then get an xd picture card from olympus.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: I got this camera for my girlfriend. She has gone through 4 other digital cameras in the past 5 years due to random accidents. So I decided to get her one that will withstand her use. And so far, wow! It's been dropped down a flight of stairs once already and still works fine! We've also taken it swimming several times with great results.
Cons: Doesn't come with battery charger. Comes with charger that requires whole camera to be plugged in, which is fine. Doesn't come in custom colors like the previous models did.
Other Thoughts: I really like this camera.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: It goes without saying that the highlights of this camera are the waterproof and shockproof. I love having a camera that I can take into the field or so swimming with and not have to worry about. Also, this camera takes great pictures. I must say that really surprised me on the action shots with a lot of movement. So far it appears to have a pretty good battery life.
Cons: xD. Why does it even exist? I got an 8gb microSDHC card and used the enclosed adapter. It seems to work very well.
Other Thoughts: I would highly recommend this camera, even if you arent outdoors that often. When you do go outdoors and the weather is bad, or if you are prone to dropping cameras, this one is a great choice.
