The 14 Megapixel Olympus Mju 6020 offers plenty of space for all those special moments: aside from an impressive 1GB of internal memory, an SD card slot is sure to be useful. The In-Camera Manual on the other hand, makes navigating the camera and finding out how to operate certain functions a breeze. Tap Control has also been improved and now allows scrolling by tilting the camera body in addition to control through taps on the casing, perfect for gloved hands. Underwater fans will appreciate knowing where they are going with LED illumination. Of course, a variety of trusted Olympus features from Magic Filters and Beauty Mode to i-Auto, AF Tracking and Dual Image Stabilisation are also on board to make sure you don’t miss that perfect shot.

Olympus Tough 6020 image browsing software
With the new features, it’s never been so easy to keep track of the latest tricks on the half-pipe or a climb to the mountain top. A versatile 5x wide optical zoom (28-140mm) ensures great group photos or close-ups of distant subjects. In addition, every move can be recorded with the HD movie function or integrated into a slideshow and then viewed comfortably on a TV set connected via HDMI. And by using Photo Surfing to select and look at pictures of anything from an afternoon on the sailboat to a child’s birthday, there’s no longer any need to tediously click through the whole library. This is possible thanks to Olympus’ [ib] technology. The new image browsing software allows pictures to be tagged by face with Face Recognition technology, by place (with GPS) or by event. The tagged images can then be surfed through on the camera’s LCD, on a computer or a television.

Olympus Mju 6020 robust camera body
Incredibly resistant through anodised aluminium plating and double sealing, the Olympus µ Tough 6020 camera was made for adventure inside and out. Their displays’ HC III “triple coating” protects it against reflection even under direct bright sunlight, scratches, and moisture for comfortable shooting while a stronger metal lens barrier ensures lenses are out of harms way. A double lock mechanism on the cover for the battery, memory slot and ports offers extra security. The shockproof, waterproof and freezeproof Mju Tough 6020 will be available in a variety of colours from March 2010.

“The Olympus Stylus Tough 6020 is a tough, smart looking camera that shoots high resolution 14 megapixel images and can take high definition 720p video. This would make it appealing to the adventurous shooter that wants a camera that is tough enough to handle their adventures, and the Tough 6020 is as likely to survive these adventures as you are.”

“The Olympus Stylus Tough-6020 has its low points, but nothing about it screams “do not buy”. I think the biggest problem with the camera is that I wouldn’t recommend it to someone that didn’t specifically needed it. So say you are prone to dropping things or you live in a wet area you might be considering a tougher-than-normal camera, but it’s not clear that the 6020 is worth the trade-offs in those scenarios.
