New Olympus Stylus Tough 6020 Shipped

Olympus has finally rolled out the Stylus Tough 6020 rugged compact camera for the mass market. Available in black, blue, green, and pink, the digicam comes jam packed with a 14-megapixels CCD sensor with a 5X optical zoom lens (equivalent to 28mm – 140mm with f3.9-5.9), a 2.7-inch LCD display with 230,000 pixels and a sensor-shift image stabilization. This compact digital camera is waterproof up to 16 feet, shockproof from 5 feet, freezeproof to 14F and dustproof. What makes the Olympus Stylus Tough 6020 more interesting is that it can record video at 1280 x 720 (30 fps) with sound using the MPEG-4 codec. There is also a “Tap Control” that allows you to operate certain camera functions by tapping the top and side of the camera. It has a 1GB onboard memory (632MB usable), which is upgradable via an SD/SDHC card slot. Additional specs include an HDMI output, a USB port, and a LI-50B lithium-ion battery (240 shots per charge). The new Olympus Stylus Tough 6020 retails for $299 a pop.
