Photographs showing you braving whitewater rapids or trying to flash a smile behind your underwater mask and snorkel are great conversation pieces. They also tell your friends of your adventurous spirit. And of course when you grow old you can show them to your grandchildren and boast of the things you did as a young man. The Olympus Stylus Tough 6020 allows you to capture these kinds of pictures.
With special seals and gaskets incorporated into the casing’s joints and control buttons, water is effectively held at bay even up to depths of 16 feet. And if you drop it on solid ground while jumping from one boulder to another trying to cross a stream, you needn’t worry because it is shockproof. Its metal body incorporates shock-absorbing capabilities that can withstand drops from five feet high. If you are a winter sports kind of guy, the Olympus Stylus Tough 6020 is perfect for you. You can have your photo taken while on a slalom even in freezing temperatures. The camera can operate at 14°F.
The camera has a 14-megapixel CCD sensor guaranteeing high resolution photos suitable for enlargement without loss of detail. A 5x optical zoom can get your subjects up close and personal even from a distance. It has a 2.7-inch LCD monitor for picture composition and playback. An anti-glare feature allows a clear image even under bright sunlight.
In addition to taking still images, it can also capture 720p HD videos with a single touch. These images are stored in an internal memory with a capacity of 1GB. A Sensor-Shift Image Stabilization working together with high ISO sensitivity enables the Olympus Stylus Tough 6020 to record sharp photos even when the subject is moving, a feature very well suited for sports and adventure photos. Tap Control allows the operation of certain functions just by tapping the camera. When you are wearing gloves or mittens, this capability is fully appreciated.
The camera is compact, easily slipping into your pocket or purse. It measures only 3.8″ W x 2.5″ H x 1.0″ D. It is available in four colors –blue, green, black, and pink.
