stylus tough 8010

[diver_forever]

so, im not a profesional. I'm not just in to diving, but all other sport too (snowboarding, motocross).

so I want a camera that can keep up with me, and still bring good quality of picture.
But my main priority is a camera that is good in UW, even with housing.

do you think this camera is good? or should i sacrifice the tough part and go with canon s90????

Olympus PnS cameras in general don't produce sharp images and movies are even worse. Olympus 8010 is in fact best of all Olympus UW cameras so far, but Panasonic FT2 (TS2) is much better in UW. FT2 has much better optics than any PnS Olympus, better IS, better SCN programs and full automatic mode (iA) and it is 10 meters waterproof. I owned many UW cameras in last 5 years (http://public.fotki.com/Primoz/my-underwater-cameras/) and tested almost all of them, but FT2 (TS2) are way better than any other PnS rugged UW camera, even better than big & chunky Canon D10.
