Olympus Stylus Tough-8000 12 MP Digital Camera with 3.6x Wide Angle Optical Dual Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.7-Inch LCD (Black)

The Olympus Stylus Tough-8000 Digital Camera is the camera you’ll take everywhere – from beach, to ski lodge to soccer games.  It’s shockproof, waterproof, freezeproof, crushproof and shakeproof – in a word, it’s tough.  It can survive a 6-1/2 foot drop, can be submerged as deep as 33 feet underwater and withstand a crush of up to 220 pounds of pressure.  But its real talent is taking beautiful 12MP pictures so that you can catch that picture of your daughter touching the starfish from an underwater viewpoint, or your son on the bunny trail with the snow flying all around.  Or mom, drenched at the soccer game that they wouldn’t cancel.  Even if you’re shaking, the camera will deliver a steady picture thanks to its dual image stabilization technology.  It also features a wide-angle lens, in-camera panorama, “perfect fix” on-camera editing, and for the 1st time, internal charging – it charges like a cell-phone for quick, easy use.  It’s virtually indestructible, making it great for people who are tough on electronics, and for those who expect a lot out of a camera.
