I've been wondering about a new camera for a while now - the second set of batteries in my old one are now failing (which is a shame as its served me well), and the optical zoom is nothing to speak of.
I decided a rugged camera would be just the thing to take to the peaks, and after some research I plumped for the Olympus TG-610. It has good reviews, 1.5m drop protection, 5m waterproofing and is good down to -10c. It was also superceded on 29th February so I got 40% off....
You can see the results from the camera on my Snowdon post - so far so good. Not tested the ruggedness yet, but I'm naturally clumsy so no doubt it won't be long...
Well that didnt take long - the hinges have broken on the battery door
