The majority of pocket size cameras are user friendly and designed for enjoyable outings and exotic travel. They are well-rounded with features, have decent image quality, and have high storage capacities with memory cards capable of storing thousands of pictures. Prices of these digital cameras are reasonable and much cheaper than most smartphones. The more expensive digital cameras normally means better image quality and more features for both the amateur and professional photographer. Olympus has the Tough series of digital cameras that are specifically designed to be more durable and able to tolerate heat, cold and water with some very sophisticated imaging capabilities. One of the more inexpensive models is the Olympus Stylus Tough 3000.

Features

Along with some outstanding photographic capabilities the rugged Olympus Stylus Tough 3000 camera comes in a number of attractive colors, including pink and blue. null

The 2.7 inch LCD display is pretty much the standard for cameras in this price range, but it is more than adequate to get the job done. And all cameras in the Tough Series, including the Tough 3000 model is designed to be freezeproof, waterproof and shock resistant. This is an interesting combination for a camera that is priced under $200. The waterproof characteristic lets you take photos underwater. But it is only waterproof down to 10 feet below the surface which should be plenty for snorkeling or the like.

The shockproof characteristic better protects the camera from drops of up to 5 feet. Part of the shockproof capability is from the shock absorbing capabilities of the metal frame. And the freezeproof feature allows you to take the camera on a ski trip or for an occasional stay in your car overnight. The Olympus Stylus Tough 3000 will operate very well down to 14F. s

The Tough 3000 comes equipped with a 3.6x wide angle optical zoom and a 12 megapixel sensor. The camera design keeps the lens from protruding past the frame thus keeping the camera more compact and easier to protect from the elements. Image stabilization is accomplished with the Sensor Shift combined with the high ISO sensitivity which allows you to take great in focus pictures of subjects that are in motion AF Tracking contributes to the clarity of these fast-moving subjects as well.

The Intelligent Auto feature is nice for beginners with its scene detection capabilities to enhance the briteness and clarity. One of the most unique features is called advanced face detection which automatically focuses on up to 12 faces and focuses and sharpens each one.

The Shadow Adjustment Technology can also improve the lighting situations. Creative Art Filters can optionally be applied if you want to have some nice effects like pop art or fish eye to your pictures without the need of using a computer photo editor.

Being the most basic Olympus Waterproof Digital Camera the Olympus Stylus Tough 3000 has plenty of features in a very durable frame.
