I have to go up the cudgels for this camera. I myself own a D-SLR camera and a bridge. The Olympus μ TOUGH-8000 came by chance into my possession (they won) Of course, you do not look a gift horse in the mouth! I did it anyway. The camera looks tip. The concept: water shock- and dust (sand) to be determined is awesome. The implementation is managed. Contrary to some other comments I find the picture quality quite acceptable. Compare a compact with a D-SLR is absurt. But who has a D-SLR, is the color saturation that is very neutral, could not fault it. The Einstellmöglichkieten are very limited. But they hold but what they promise. The flash works very well for my taste. Even the image stabilizer seems to do a good job. Criticism of the tripping speed, however, is understandable! Top Values noise from ISO 400 in this segment can only expect someone who is not familiar with digital photography. Here, unfortunately, is the Megapixelwahn image quality brake. But, we remain on the carpet: The camera takes good pictures during the day and even in the room !!! The default Center-weighted metering makes it possible to meet reasonably companies clippers, the appropriate exposure and: I can draw in the sand an ace up his sleeve that complements my existing equipment perfectly in the pouring rain, or frost, or on the beach !!! Finally thrilled the operating concept. By tapping the body can be a number of important settings, such as flash settings posh. Which attract not only the owners, but also those which one shows. So a little Live Style is attending !!!
