Olympus mju Tough-6010 Review

The main difference between the 6000 and hard-Tough-6010 appears to be the transition from a 10 megapixel sensor, up to 12 megapixels and adding a small selection of magic potion to create art Pin Hole Design Pop (required) fish eye effect. Otherwise, you will have the same combination of intelligent design and bulky, a selection of bright colors and a manageable 3.6 times zoom wide angle.

Waterproofing measured as a symbol of depth. The pressure increases with depth, so that everyone can go deeper into the camera, the better. The hard-6010 goes up to 3 meters, which should be good for casual gamers snorkeling wreck dive, but no. This 6010 Tough-will prove not slip under the water, although it would be good to use the strap or rope around his neck.

The hard-6010 Resistance to water is not only its strength. It is resistant to frost hits from a height of 1,5 m and up to-10C. Of course, not reduced, but deliberately to the camera, but it’s reassuring to know that we will do in packs of cotton.

There is not much chunkier than the average for Cyber-shot camera, and it is difficult to operate, making it the ideal holiday snappers. The keys feel a little hard work, but still good, just very ordinary setting white balance, flash, ISO, and then continue with the directional buttons on the screen controller and function menu.

But the move to 10 megapixels and 12 was not very difficult because no-6010. Image is so great that, as the ISO low and do not wait too close to the edges of the image details that may be too vague.

There is very little inconvenience to the controls and options. He decided for some reason, Olympus, we need representations of the lowest exposure compensation differently, and not a simple sliding scale. The images reveal something visually and should always seek a label on the bottom corner of the adjustment can be found. Also, if you want to claim compensation in the negative, you must use the left mouse button on another screen. Like any other camera manufacturers, Olympus has an automatically detect scene, but can the five most often used to select the whole list.

The tough Olympus Mju 6010 is a growing number of digital cameras are waterproof, shock resistant and frost resistant. You can use Mju Tough 6010 in water at a depth of 3 meters used in cooling to -10 degrees Celsius and then let the camera with a maximum height of 1, 5 m height. This allows you to change some settings, and scroll through the images by pressing the camera.

Concentrate levels used in the model to get a key area of in-line digital camera. They are shooting a very light fog surrounding ships white, but as with my earlier, this will not be a problem as long as you keep the print sizes reasonable.

How other Olympus digital cameras, the picture gets a light purple color seen under artificial light. This is not really a camera that I could give any serious photo near proposing, but okay for the occasional snapshot.

Noise got up quickly when the images where the light is not perfect. Although this is all digital compact cameras are more sensitive to this camera as a real and many others. The Tough Mju 6010 is good enough to carry one or two questions about the performance compared to other cameras driving.

The body shape is more integrated, with soft edges, and lacking the industrial look of some earlier models. It is lighter than 8000, but weighing about 165g with battery and memory card. It is available with the team in three different colors: red, gray or dark blue turquoise showed here. The 6010-Hard now sells about 250, which is quite expensive for a compact camera, though still relatively new, so the price drops probably 30-40 before Christmas.

Battery performance seems much better than the 7010th mju 6010 features a large battery of 925mAh, which remains strong after more than 200 photos. The built-in flash on the other hand, is something of a disappointment. It is surprisingly low at lower settings ISO, in the absence of light-3m room. IAuto mode, flash mode accompanied by the ISO 800, there is a specific order, but sacrifices image quality.

As mentioned earlier, has no AF assist lamp and autofocus system has real problems are the same in a region of light is sufficient for reading, focusing on a few seconds and often fail to do. Light at the lower levels are not focused at all, but he seems to default to a wide debate party, so that the subjects in flash is quite important.

The Tough-6010, a few small weaknesses can be forgiven because the overall image quality is actually quite good. The lens, shooting the cover glass is the strongest and most contrasts, either, but at least he is consistent from side to side, producing very little wide-angle distortion and virtually no chromatic aberration. The overall level of the individual is very good, comparable to any good 12MP compact and low compression ratio nice quality fine-tuning has no visible artifacts. Color reproduction is good, with detailed information, even in bright areas, even bleed a little more than a few bright red.

Final Words and Conclusion

The Olympus Mju-6010 lives up to its name. Obviously, this is at the lower end of the price range for this type of camera.
