Good Points

Excellent for anyone with kids or who wants a camera that can survive some serious rough and tumble. Excellent picture quality too and hard to believe battery life.

Good Points

The MJU Tough 8000 is an awesome camera! It boasts a wide angle lens for panoramic shots which can be pieced together automatically in the camera. Under water capabilities, which was the main reason I wanted Olympus. Plus, it's solid! Good picture quality/video quality, very clear features and pretty scene selections. The only reason I didn't give a 10 on the features is because I used to have a Canon, and I miss the colour accent function. Otherwise, I am very happy! Under water shots (and video) are amazing!

Bad Points

You cannot zoom while making video (needs to be set before) It may not break if you drop it, but just don't drop it on your foot because it's not light! Nice unique appearance but having a lens in the corner can cause accidental finger-in-shot. Also, don't drop it in the ocean because it will sink fast, and although 10metres resistance is deep, it won't stop.

Overall score: 9.1
