Olympus Stylus Tough 8010 (mju Tough 8010) review

I purchased the camera just before my holidays as a supplement to my Canon DSLR. I wanted a solid waterproof camera to carry all time without being worried about rain, dust and temperature.
The construction is OK, it is a solid camera and there is more than enough features. The menu is logic and easy to use and understand. Battery life is OK but not overwhelming.

Problems:

The camera turned out to be an annoying experience. In one word it is SLOW.
The start up time is long, the AF is slow, the lens is slow.
And the glossy chrome front is vulnerable and get instantly scratches, not very Tough or Stylus.
Sold it after two month for half of the purchased price.
