I just purchased the new Olympus TG 1-iHS compact camera.
By all reviews this is the best "ruggedized" compact camera currently on the market.
As a backpacker and hunter I have long been looking for a camera that could withstand outdoors use, i.e. be nearly "klutz proof" - known as "soldier proof" in other situations. Finally, my first new, non hand-me-down digital camera!
The ruggedized aspests are:
1. can withstand a 6 ft. drop to concrete
2. can be submerged to 40 ft. (about 6 meters)
3. can oprerate to -14 F.
GOOGLE the camera to read about its many good features.
Two in particular are its ability to shoot good photos in low light and the option to double its built-in 4X telephoto capability with an add-on telephoto lens, put on a filter or use a fish-eye lens, all now available. This camera also has a built-in GPS for "geo-tagging" photos.
As I said, GOOGLE it to read on and be amazed.
