Most pocketable digital cameras are family friendly and meant for fun outings and traveling. 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. Spending more on a digital camera often means better image quality and more manual features for amateurs and professionals to tinker with. 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.

Capabilities

Although the Olympus Stylus Tough 3000 is a more rugged camera, it still manages to flash out some style with four fun colors to choose from including blue, green, pink, and red. null

The camera is equipped with a 2.7-inch LCD display which is pretty standard for budget digital cameras. And all cameras in the Tough Series, including the Tough 3000 model is designed to be freezeproof, waterproof and shock resistant. This is a great combination of features especially for a camera priced less than $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. The metal frame helps absorb the shocks nicely. 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 14°F. s

The Olympus Stylus Tough 3000 performs rather well with its 12-megapixel sensor and 3.6x wide-angle optical zoom. The unique thing about the zoom feature is that the lens doesn’t protrude from the frame so the components are safer from the harsh conditions. It has a pair of image stabilization features including Sensor-Shift and high ISO sensitivity which are needed to take subjects in constant motion without blurring. 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 brightness and clarity. Combined with the Advanced Face Detection, up to 12 faces in the scene can be enhanced and sharpened so they look better.

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.

Even though the Olympus Stylus Tough 3000 is an entry level camera in the Olympus waterproof digital camera product line it is durable and has plenty of features.
