If you like your tough gadgets, you’ll be pleased to hear Olympus has just announced a new rugged face at the head of its Tough range of compact cameras – the TG-810.
This hard-as-nails customer has all the usual tough gadget credentials – waterproofing to 10m, drop-resistant to heights of 2m and dust- and freeze-proofing – but adds a new level of endurance to the mix: it’s also crush-proof.
It’ll happily withstand up to 100kg of weight on top of it, which is more than the weight of the average person.
It’s not just the case that’s designed for a bit of out-of-doors rough and tumble. Olympus has equipped the TG-810 with a glare-resistant 3in screen, a manometer – that’s a pressure sensor to you and me – as well as a tri-sensor GPS and electronic compass. Plus that 10m water-proofing is partnered by three underwater modes to really make a splash with your snaps.
Needless to say, more prosaic camera features are all well covered too. Among the key stats are a 14-megapixel sensor, 720p video shooting capability and a 5x optical zoom. There’s also Eye-Fi compatibility on board too.
The TG-810 will be available later this month, and will set you back £269.99.
