Olympus mju Tough 3000

How many cameras have you been into for the past two years? One? Two? If you are still counting in your head by now and have needed a new camera for the reason of “it just didn’t work when I tried to use it”, you might need something tougher. You need a camera that can keep up with your rugged lifestyle. If laptops have Toughbooks, compact cameras have the mju Tough.

This compact camera has the muscles to brave it out in the wild. It has full body protection for any harsh environment that it is subject to like heat, cold, moisture, or shock. You can let it fall for up to 1.5m, can withstand 3m of water immersion, -10C of cold weather, and scratches that would make a geek cry, but still manage take pictures the moment you pick it up. This camera isn’t a muscle head either with its specs completely souped up.

It has a 12-megapixel CCD sensor, 3.6x optical zoom, 2.7″ LCD display, dual image stabilization, HD movie recording with HDMI, and 1GB of internal memory. Other features includeÂ advanced face detection and shadow adjustment technology, intelligent auto mode and AF tracking, magic filters, beauty mode, and USB charging. You can apply artistic filters to the camera such as Pop Art, Pin Hole, Fish Eye, and Sketch. Beauty mode detects faces and automatically touches up the skin and make it appear smoother, brighter, and youthful (talk about instant photoshop). The USB charging is a nifty feature since USB ports seem to be the standard in charging gadgets nowadays.
