Olympus Mju 6000 Views

Digital cameras can be delicate things. The Olympus MJU Tough 6000 is somewhat different. While some digital cameras cough and splutter and come to a grinding halt if they meet with a little bit of water or fall apart when they drop from a small height, the MJU Tough 6000 is built to withstand the odd bump and bruise. It can cope with the odd soaking too. Olympus has built the camera to be waterproof to 3m and shockproof to drops of 1.5m. For good measure they have made it freezeproof to -10 degrees centigrade. Altogether these features offer quite a lot of flexibility. The camera should be able to stand up to action around the swimming pool and on the ski slopes. The fact it can overcome the occasional drop can make it a good choice for a family where a camera may fall into young, unsteady hands from time to time.

WDC o“Overall the Olympus Mju Tough 6000 is a means to an end as a compact, as it ’s unfair to judge it against those without the shock and water proofing. Instead the Olympus Mju Tough 6000 is decent for a shockproof model, especially at the price, but there are better at both taking images and being protective. ” Rating:

Pocket-lint a“With a price to match your average 10-megapixel compact camera, the Olympus Mju Tough-6000 offers a good rugged approach without trying to sting you for it. That rugged approach lives up to its name, giving you a camera that you can happily give to the kids or take to the beach without the fear of breaking it. ” Rating:

The Stylus Tough 6000 isn’t the best camera in town – there are other rugged cameras with HD movie modes, better battery life, faster performance and better image quality.m”
