Olympus Tough Mju 6000 10MP - £199.99

Hardcore photography for hardcore fans

Capturing those memories is an essential part of the festival weekend, but rainy afternoons, muddy swills and hard knocks can take their toll on budget cameras.

The 10 megapixel Olympus Tough Mju 6000 is built to last and can survive being submerged in water, covered in mud and bumped around in a bag all day with all those abrasive festival essentials, and still produce great looking photographs of all your favourite bands.
