More information

Whether you have an adventurous streak or just buttery fingers, this is the camera for you. Shockproof up to 5 feet, the Olympus Stylus Tough 6000 withstands the bumps and bangs of everyday life. A waterproof sealing system means that not only will it survive if dropped in water, but can also take pictures in depths of up to 10 feet. And to top it off, you'll enjoy taking pics in temperatures as low as -10 degrees Celsius - perfect for a day on the slopes.

A 10MP CCD sensor means beautifully sharp pictures that can be enlarged, cropped and edited without any loss of detail. A 3.6X wide-angle zoom lens that doesn't protrude from the camera's body lets you get in close for beautiful macro shots, while ensuring it's easy to fit everyone into group shots.

It's also home to a host of features that ensure that it's easy to take great shots, like Face Detection for up to 16 faces, and Smile Shot which automatically detects smiles and fires off three shots to ensure that picturesque moment is captured.

Other features include:

• 2.7" display with a wide viewing angle and anti-glare filter
  
• Innovative tap control to let you operate the camera by tapping the top, back and sides of the camera
  
• 2-in-1 anti-blur technology which ensures crisp clear images with every shot
  
• In-camera panorama technology
  
• xD and microSD card compatible
