Olympus mju Tough-6010 review

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 12:02:02 +0000

Ernest Shackleton would probably have been mightily taken with the shockproof, waterproof and freezeproof mju Tough-6010. Its picture quality isn't going to blow anybody's mind, but it looks smart, offers good value for money, and can withstand a fair degree of punishment

Olympus mju-7010 review

Fri, 11 Sep 2009 14:28:02 +0000

The 12-megapixel mju-7010 is a great little camera that combines a compact body with a 7x wideangle zoom. Its pictures could be crisper and other cameras have longer zoom ranges without costing more, but the mju-7010 is so slim and neat that it's hard to resist

Thu, 06 Aug 2009 13:30:02 +0000

The waterproof new Pentax Optio W80 may not be a great swimmer, but it certainly looks the part. Is it too small a fish in the sturdicam pond though?

Thu, 23 Jul 2009 10:15:02 +0000

The Olympus mju-7010, FE-26, FE-4000, FE-5020 are not only colourful but pack decent-sized zooms. But why oh why is Olympus so stuck on microSD?

Pentax Optio W80 review

Mon, 20 Jul 2009 15:57:02 +0000

The rugged, 12-megapixel Optio W80 is an attractive little beast that can withstand a good deal of physical punishment. It's over-reliant on its menu system, but it's a versatile snapper, offering a 5x wideangle zoom, a high-def movie mode and a sensitivity range that goes all the way up to ISO 6,400

Fri, 17 Jul 2009 11:02:02 +0000

Olympus is muscling its way back into the increasingly crowded sturdy-camera market with the new mju Tough 6010 in manly, red, grey and... turquoise?

Pentax Optio W80 wades into waterproof camera market

Thu, 25 Jun 2009 10:49:02 +0000

The Pentax W80 is the latest in a line of summer-lovin' waterproof cameras. It's got a 5x zoom and is waterproof down to nearly 5m

Olympus mju 7000 review

Fri, 19 Jun 2009 13:47:01 +0000

The 12-megapixel mju 7000 isn't going to make anyone wet their pants with excitement, but it's a capable snapper nonetheless. With a 7x zoom range, it offers serious telephoto capability in a compact body that can slip into your shirt pocket, and its pictures are good too

Canon PowerShot D10 review

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 14:17:02 +0000

The 12-megapixel PowerShot D10 adds a welcome splash of style to the ruggedised camera market. Although it's not as shockproof as some of its rivals and the basic 3x zoom is nothing to shout about, it's waterproof to an impressive 10m and the lens is unusually sharp for this class of camera
