Remember the Essentials
Sufficient memory is not included.
Don't get caught without memory, get a high-capacity memory card.
The Olympus Stylus Tough-8010 is a compact 14-Megapixel digital camera with a 28mm 5x optical zoom lens designed for people with an active lifestyle. The camera is waterproof to 33' (10.06m), shockproof to 6.6' (2.01m), crushproof to 220 lbs of pressure, and freezeproof to 14°f (-10°c). This makes the camera perfect for beach going, swimming, skiing, climbing, hiking or any other outdoor activity, or tough environment.
Setting the camera for the perfect photo is easy with scene modes that include Beach, Underwater Snapshot, Underwater Wide 1, Underwater Wide 2, Underwater Macro and Pets. Accessing the camera's controls is a snap with Tap Control. This is especially convenient underwater or while wearing gloves.
The camera has features that allow you to capture the action even in low light. Dual Image Stabilization will keep your images sharp, and if the image is better captured in motion, the camera will take HD videos. The 2.7" LCD screen allows you to compose your still and video images and review them after capture. The camera takes SD/SDHC memory cards, but the built-in 2GB of internal memory allows you to take many photographs without a memory card. All of these features make the Olympus Stylus Tough-8010 the perfect camera to take with you when the going gets tough.

So, I researched and researched for a waterproof camera before I went on vacation. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get what I wanted before I went away, but when I came back (3 disposables + processing costs), I was even more determined to find one I could use the next time I travel.
After reading the good, the bad and the ugly, I settled on the Olympus Tough 8010. It didn't hurt that the camera pro I spoke with told me that all the other brands were trying to be what Olympus already is! Another key factor for me was that it uses SD cards.
While I haven't had the opportunity yet to use it underwater, I have been using it for everyday shots, videos and panoramic photos - what a cool feature.
I'm well pleased with the quality of the photos, the speed in which the camera starts up and gets me shooting, and the menu choices (not to meantion the navigation of the menus).
I can't wait for the next time it rains so that I can take it out and get it's feet wet, as it were! If I can, I will update once I have done so.
Overall, I am very happy with this camera so far.

Got the 8010 to replace a 770sw. The 8010 takes longer to start up and is harder to get to focus quickly, which are big negatives in a point-and-shoot camera, and it is bigger than the old model. That said, I still love all the features that carried over from the older models (waterproof, shockproof etc), and I would recommend the camera overall.

Comments about Olympus Stylus Tough-8010 Digital Camera (Silver):
great for underwater photos although I would recommend taking multiple shots as the current and the subject matter tend to move so some shots may come out blurry due to movement, but overall the majority of shots were great. overall I really like the camera. I like the durability so if i drop it in the sand or drop it while hiking I don't have to worry about breaking it. great little camera.

Comments about Olympus Stylus Tough-8010 Digital Camera (Silver):
Yes, it's tough.
Very difficult to operate, power button complicated to operate and most of all, terrible flash illumination. Photos with flash burn on one edge and look terrible.
The focusing is very poor and anoyingly slow. And battery life is very short.

Comments about Olympus Stylus Tough-8010 Digital Camera (Silver):
I have only used this camera for a couple of days and it seems to take good pictures. Its not as good as my SLR but then again its not intended to be. Its smaller than I thought which is a good thing. I have taken both movies and pictures which both came out well. I have not tried it underwater yet but I have used it in the snow with no problem and good pics. Only complaint so far would be the small lag that it has when taking pictures. Maybe I'm just used to the SLR.

Comments about Olympus Stylus Tough-8010 Digital Camera (Silver):
I use this camera diving every weekend. I love the fact it's water proof up to three meters and with the addition of the Ikelite housing, this little beauty really does go to new depths. Fantastic quality at a realistic price. You can't go wrong. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to a mate.

Comments about Olympus Stylus Tough-8010 Digital Camera (Silver):
I have friends using this model camera underwater and the pictures are fantastic. But I have found the camera difficult to use. You have to unlock and open it exposing the battery and card every time you want to download your pictures. I had to remove the program that the 8010 downloaded onto my computer as it overrides other picture programs I use with various additional cameras I own. I still haven't been able to use the menu feature on the program to assist me in using the video filming option of the camera. I find it easier to leave this camera in the case and grab another for ease of use. I am very disappointed thus far but perhaps a few dedicated hours with the online manual or a visit to an Olympus store well improve my opinion. Online help via the website is not helpful. If you aren't in need of a waterproof camera, I wouldn't choose this model.

Comments about Olympus Stylus Tough-8010 Digital Camera (Silver):
Pictures come out perfect!! Best camera on the market if you tear things up and break things. Wish they made a cell phone like this camera. Took this camera to Miami and to the Keys. Took live videos while kiteboarding and they came out perfect. Never rusted after dropping this camera into the ocean and still works perfect. What I would like to see in the next model is a deeper zoom. Faster frame snap shots when you hold down the take picture button. I'm sure it has good battery life compared to other cameras, but I would like to see longer battery life.

Comments about Olympus Stylus Tough-8010 Digital Camera (Silver):
I'm using the olumpus as a daily point and shoot and as an underwater camera.
As a point and shoot, it's fine, the panorama feature works nicely and you can control the ISO speed for low light situaltions. However the camera takes quite a while to turn on, and to move between shots so you are likely to miss some opportunities.
This is a great snorkling camera though I would not recommend it to divers. While you can chose from one of three underwater white balances that should work decently for surface shooting THIS CAMERA DOES NOT MANUALLY WHITE BALANCE unlike many other cameras in its class. This means you will not be able to capture vibrant underwater colors 10 meters and below.
For this reason if you are serous about underwater diving photography, don't bother getting this camera, opt for a canon or lumix with manual settings.
If you just want a point and shoot that's water resistant and tough, its a decent option...been snorkling with it 4 times and it hasn't leaked yet.

Comments about Olympus Stylus Tough-8010 Digital Camera (Silver):
I bought this camera to use mostly outside, in dusty, harsh conditions to take photos as opportunities arise. also to use as a handy travel camera that you can hang round your neck and not have to worry about. For those purposes, it works very good. Inside buildings its not up to scratch. also no manual control, but I still have my Canon 30D to do the technical stuff with, so thats just nitpicking. also love the rechargeable battery. Read the whole manual!

I take this camera with me everywhere i go including work as an environmental consultant. the rugged features of this camera allow me to worry less about dropping it in dust water anything. Only thing i am not crazy about is the menu system, I originally had the olympus stylus 720 (I think) and i really like the layout of that camera.

Pictures were clear both above and below water.

I'd recommend this camera to anyone.

Comments about Olympus Stylus Tough-8010 Digital Camera (Silver):
Mounted to my Sticky Pod, this camera has 90 minutes of video for driving. It can operate for many hours on a 32GB card, but every 90 minutes you must hit the record button. Since it's waterproof, you cannot connect power to it and record at the same time. It only operates on the battery with no external power source.
