The camera has features that allow you to capture the action even in low light. Dual Image Stabilization will keep your images sharp, and if the image is better captured in motion, the camera will take HD videos. The 2.7" LCD screen allows you to compose your still and video images and review them after capture. The camera takes SD/SDHC memory cards, but the built-in 1GB of internal memory allows you to take many photographs without a memory card. All of these features make the Olympus Stylus Tough-6020 the perfect camera to take with you when the going gets tough.

In most ways the Stylus Tough-6020 is your standard point-and-shoot. It fits in a pocket, has a built-in flash, has a large LCD, and the controls even look like those of a normal consumer camera. In fact, looking at the 6020 there are very few indications that this camera is any tougher than any other. The hints are there though.

The optical zoom is completely internal, which prevents sensitive parts from telescoping in or out of the camera. Second of all all the ports (SDHC, USB, etc.) are hidden behind a single door on the side, not the bottom. This gives the device a single, secure entry point to seal off. Finally, the camera has a lot of exposed screws that are clearly given prominence to make it look rugged and it has a lot of metal hardware.

I have had this camera for only about a week and I love it! The pictures and movies are so clear. Also I cant wait to use the underwater feature on our next vacation. It also gives me some peace of mind knowing that it can be dropped from 5 ft and not be damaged. Their program you use on the computer is great too. So many awesome features!

We are consulting engineers and need cameras to record status and progress of large construction projects. Hazardous duty for any electronic equipment and we have lost cameras when dropped or from water, dust, etc. This unit has all the features we need and is tough enough for this type of use.
