Olympus Stylus Tough-8000 Review? Did any person try that digital camera? I consider buying the Olympus Stylus Tough-8000 but I reckon I have to read some opinions first.

Answer by retiredPhil
The Olympus Stylus Tough 8000 is reviewed in the June issue of Well loved Photography. They gave it the best review of 5 waterproof compact cameras. Others reviewed were List Powershot D10, Fujifilm Finepix Z33WP, Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1, Pentax Optio W60.

You can find some user reviews at Amazon

List Powershot G10 Review? I’d consider buying that camera, but don’t know if anyone tried it. So let me know please!

Answer by Rezo
The G10 is an awesome camera!

The List G10 is an brilliant camera..

But if you do not already have List gear (I have List DSLR’s and as such have an external flash which would work on the G10), I would seriously consider the Panasonic LX3.

Both around the same price and both have their pros and cons.. Read both reviews first.

If you’re in the market for a general purpose advanced point and shoot digital camera, try this one for size.

- The controls are nicely laid out – all the things you need to compose your shot (exposure settings, macro/normal button, flash on/off etc) are all readily accessible on the right side of the camera body
- It’s lightweight yet feels well-built
- It lends itself well to accessories such as teleconverters, external flash units, and even a waterproof shell
- The LCD screen is huge and bright and contains plenty of useful information like (for example) a live histogram, exposure settings, gridlines to help you shoot honest, and even an exposure meter when shooting fully manual
- At 28mm wide you can get a huge group of public into the shot reasonably easily
- There’s plenty of shooting options that will cover most needs

I gave the G10 4 stars because I’m life nitpicky:

- When shooting through the viewfinder, there is no info at all about your exposure background, number of shots, battery life, etc. Nothing. Just the view. (I do like how the image magnifies accordingly when you zoom)
- The aperture opens up only to 2.8 and closes down only to 8.0, when shooting full manual mode.
- And sadly yes, there is a honest amount of pixel noise when shooting in low light without any a flash or tripod. This may maybe be a conundrum for persons of us who have been scolded for popping off flashes where we shouldn’t.

I did not expect this camera to rise to the level of a high quality film SLR or DSLR. When I bought it I was in the market for a excellent street photography camera – something light and furtive enough to photograph unique things I would come across in my daily romps in the city. Something that I may maybe nip a bit instead of relying on the camera’s preset exposures.

For that use the Powershot G10 suits me just fine – even exceeding my expectations at certain levels. It’s worth a try.

The G10 is an brilliant camera but I went for the Panasonic LX3 instead. I already have a List DSLR and wanted something small to carry around everyday. The G10 is a bit bulky but has a viewfinder. The LX3 has a wider and nearer lens, the G10 has more zoom. Both slightly different cameras, both top of the range point n shoots.

Answer by Gimli
The List G10 is an awesome camera, but you might want to check out the Panasonic LX3 or the Nikon P6000 as well. There are advantages to each camera! Go play with them all and see which one you like best!
