Olympus Stylus TOUGH-6000
The Olympus Stylus TOUGH 6000 is a camera designed for an outdoors oriented person. It is freezeproof in temperatures as low as -10 degrees C, shockproof up to 1.5 meters and waterproof down to 3 meters. It comes in four different colors: Lemon Yellow, Pure White, Arctic Blue, and Sunset Orange. The zoom is a limited 3.6x wide optical zoom, but that is perfectly fine for an average user's camera. If the photographer wants professional outdoor photos, they might want to go with a more delicate, higher power camera, but for your average hiking photo this camera should do just fine. The Olympus Stylus TOUGH 6000 has a TAP control menu, a feature that allows the photographer to change the settings by just tapping the sides of the camera.
