4 out of 5 stars   so far so good

Review submitted for Olympus Stylus Tough 8000 12MP 2.7" LCD Digital Camera (Black) (OMSTT8000K)
Pros: Large Clear LCD, Great Zoom, Good Image Quality, Easy To Use, Nice Body Color, Fast/accurate auto-focus, Good Image Stabilization, Good in Low Light, Small / Compact
Cons: Not Durable, Lag / Shutter Delay
Other Comments: I use this camera for everything. I purchased it to replace the exact same camera that I purchased 2 years ago. The original was purchased to take photos of our experience swimming with the dolphins and stingrays. I used it for pool photos all the time and I loved it. The lag time was a little longer than I am used to but I adapted. It was easy to use and waterproof. It was also supposed to be shock proof but when my 3 year old grandson dropped it, it broke. I was very dissapointed in the durability. I loved having an underwater camera so I looked into purchasing another one. The newer model doesn't take the same battery and since I had purchased extra accessories including case, armband, and batteries that would not transfer to the newer model, I decided to get the exact same model and hope for better results. I will definately be more carefull with this one since I don't trust the shockproof claim but everything else about this camera is great.

4 out of 5 stars   Stylus Tough 8000 can take it!
By Debbie on September 21, 2010

Review submitted for Olympus Stylus Tough 8000 12MP 2.7" LCD Digital Camera (Black) (OMSTT8000K)
Pros: Easy To Use, Good Image Quality, Good Image Stabilization, Good underwater shots, Good above water shots
Cons: It's a little heavy, Blurred action shots, Lag / Shutter Delay
Other Comments: I was quite pleased with the overall performance of this camera. It took great above-water and underwater shots when I went snorkeling and sea kayaking. It's a little heavier than other digital cameras, but that is probably because of the watertight sealing and the impact resistance buit into the camera. Olympus cameras have their own style of memory cards, so you will have to buy their cards. It is also recommended by Olympus to have the seals replaced every year to ensure the camera remains waterproof. I found that the selection knob moves a little too easily, which can be annoying when you're trying to take a picture quickly. And there is a significant delay after you take the photo--more so than on other digital cameras. I would recommend this camera for anyone who might be in or around water when taking photos. This little camera can certainly take it!

5 out of 5 stars   Simplicity and Versatility
By Bob on September 08, 2010
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Olympus Stylus Tough 8000 12MP 2.7" LCD Digital Camera (Black) (OMSTT8000K)
Pros: Good in Low Light, Good Image Stabilization, Short Lag Time
Cons: Short Battery Life
Other Comments: The Stylus Tough 8000 is a great choice for outdoor enthusiasts. It is compact, simple to use, rugged and versatile. We take it to the beach for family photos both on the sand and in the surf. We take it snorkeling as well as scuba diving (we don't use it below 30 ft of water depth unless we put it in a waterproof housing). We get great underwater photos of people, fish, coral reefs and and small reef creatures. We do have two extra batteries charged and ready for any underwater adventure so we can quick slip in a replacement between dives.

By Trev on May 14, 2010

Review submitted for Olympus Stylus Tough 8000 12MP 2.7" LCD Digital Camera (Black) (OMSTT8000K)
Pros: Short Lag Time, Nice Body Color, Great Zoom
Cons: Poor Image Quality, Short Battery Life
Other Comments: I love that I don't have to worry about getting the camera wet. That doesn't make up for the fuzzy pictures and low quality video. I have very few pictures from this camera that I am pleased with. The underwater shots with a flash are OK.
