Olympus Stylus Tough 8000 (mju Tough 8000) review
Exelent camera.
It just do as it say,
The build qalitie is exelent.the LCD screen is nice and bright,even in strong sun.
The strong point is the underwater qalitie,however image qalitie is good,but sharpness is verry soft.
I set the camera to 5 MP instead of 12 with alot better sharpness,to mush Mp on one tine sensor.
the results are still soft,but can easely be sharpening in software.
The user interface is good,only the tiny buttons on the back can have some problems,most of the time I press more then one key.
The olympus have some neat settings,but all are automatic.
However you have the option to overide some settings.
Iso,Exposure,Flash settings,white balange,but no sharpening,no raw,no color settings.
All with all it is not an canon G11,but the olympus do take good pictures,as long you don,t look at 100% viewing.
I suppose thad is not the way to look for an underwater camera.
The + are
good exposure.
Fast and accurate.
Alot of scene settings covering most.
Good flash pictures.
Focus wel in poor light.
Led to shine on verry close objects.Also underwater.
Exelent LCD monitor,bright and clear.
Nice looking camera.
Problems:
Low live battery (120) shots.
Get warm when use for long time.
No Manuel settings,however there is an P mode.
Fusie looking pictures ad 100 % viewing,need alot of sharpness.
To mush MP on this small sensor.
Hmm After two weeks the camera get dusk on the lens,.
Wierd for an underwatercamera,as it should be water and dust proof.Back to Olympus,and waiting for news.
Camera is exchanged by olympus for an 8010 instead.
See review there.
