Olympus today announced the Mju Tough-6010, a refresh to the rugged Mju Tough-6000. Upgrades are incremental, with the Tough-6010's robust specifications essentially the same as its predecessor: up to 3m waterproof, 1.5m shockproof, and freezeproof to minus 10 degrees Celsius.
However, the maximum resolution has been bumped up to 12 megapixels from 10, and Olympus has also added a new Magic Filter function in the new snapper. This feature consists of the Pop Art, Pinhole, Sketch and Fish-eye filter. We presume the former two effects were imported from the Art Filter function found in the company's recent dSLRs.
The Tough-6010 retains the same 2.7-inch LCD and Beauty Mode, a feature introduced earlier this year in Olympus point-and-shoots. The lens is widest at 28mm and the 3.6x optical zoom extends it to 102mm.
The Tough-6010 will be available in Asia come August. Pricing was not available at press time, but closer to launch we should have it.
