How to select the right Olympus camera

The µ(mju)Tough-series

The Mju Tough series was previously known as the Mju SW, but Olympus felt that SW (Shockproof and Waterproof) was not enough to represent this lineup, so it adopted Tough as the new branding for this family of rugged cameras. The hardiest camera in this series is a tough nut to crack, being able to withstand up to 100kg of pressure. If you live life under the sun and want a camera that can go places with you, these shooters are for you to consider.

Price range: S$499 (US$367.39) to S$649 (US$477.83)

Olympus Mju Tough-8000
It is apt to call the Tough-8000 a "mini tank". After all, it is compliant with military standards to withstand harsh environments. One of the notable upgrades of this model from previous ones is the inclusion of a 28mm wide-angle lens. It also features a tap control system to allow users, particularly those who wear thick winter gloves, to tap the sides of the camera to activate certain functions such as flash and exposure settings.
