If you are searching for a rugged compact digital camera, then you should choose Olympus Stylus Tough-8000 because it is shock, water, freeze, crush, and shake-proof. The rugged digicam has a 12MP CMOS sensor, and is claimed to survive underwater depths of 33 feet, drops of nearly 7 feet, and 220 pounds of pressure. Other features include dual image optimization, and face detection.
Olympus also offers the Stylus Tough-6000, which is less rugged. This camera is only able to fall 5 feet or go 10 feet underwater. Both cameras will be available next month for $400 and $300, respectively. [Gizmodo via Digital Camera Blog]
