If you occasionally go boating, swimming or like partaking in shower-based photography, then the double waterproofing build of Olympus' &micro;TOUGH-8010 and &micro;TOUGH-6020 will come in use. Really, you don't have to be a rock-climbing steroid-pusher to appreciate a hardy camera model.<\/p><p>Both the 8010 and 6020 have 14-megapixel sensors and 5x optical zooms, with the only real difference being how far you want to test that hardiness&mdash;the 8010 can be dropped from 6.6-foot, resist temperatures up to -10&deg;Ccrushed and crushed under 220 pounds of pressure and still survive. The 6020 is a little more weak-skinned, surviving under only a 5-foot fall.<\/p><p>Both models have 2.7-inch LCD screens and shoot in 720p resolution, with the 8010 containing 2GB of internal storage. On sale in February, for $399.99 and $299.99 each.<\/p><p><a href=\"http:\/\/ads.pheedo.com\/click.phdo?s=346b2ae14858c70a3fd663cab9625315&amp;p=1\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/c8f3c_img.phdo?s=346b2ae14858c70a3fd663cab9625315&amp;p=1\"><\/a><br><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" height=\"0\" width=\"0\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/c8f3c_eus.gif?eui=2226\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/p><div><a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.gawker.com\/~ff\/gizmodo\/full?a=YUhKMRDKsX4:nIDpSM08fMY:H0mrP-F8Qgo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/18148_full?d=H0mrP-F8Qgo\" border=\"0\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.gawker.com\/~ff\/gizmodo\/full?a=YUhKMRDKsX4:nIDpSM08fMY:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/18148_full?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.gawker.com\/~ff\/gizmodo\/full?a=YUhKMRDKsX4:nIDpSM08fMY:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/18148_full?i=YUhKMRDKsX4:nIDpSM08fMY:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.gawker.com\/~ff\/gizmodo\/full?a=YUhKMRDKsX4:nIDpSM08fMY:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/18148_full?i=YUhKMRDKsX4:nIDpSM08fMY:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/a><\/div><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/18148_YUhKMRDKsX4\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dan was lamenting the fact that Fujifilm's XP10 made him feel even more of a couch-potato than usual, but I've got to say, after owning one of Olympus' &micro;TOUGHs before, there's a lot you can do with a waterproof cam.If &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/futurist\/waterproof-shockproof-and-crushproof-olympus-%c2%b5tough-8010-and-6020-cameras-cameras.php\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"limit_modified_date":"","last_modified_date":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7245","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-futurist"],"modified_by":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7245"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7245"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7245\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7245"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7245"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7245"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
