Stylus Tough 6020
The Stylus Tough 6020 is currently the most popular model of the Olympus Stylus Tough product line and provides benefits and features normally only available with more expensive cameras. Many view its primary benefit as being its underwater capabilities but this camera has many advanced features that are normally only available in delicate, dry land cameras that you can’t take along to the beach, to the pool, for a boat ride, rafting and in extreme cold adventures. This camera and others in the Stylus line are designed for tough, adverse conditions including use underwater up to 16 feet (salt or freshwater), sandy beaches, dusty motor cycle rides and moderate impacts like being dropped.
The Olympus Stylus Tough 6020 camera, and others in the Stylus Tough series, has some outstanding benefits provided by Olympus technology and has features normally only available from more expensive cameras. And the more expensive equipment is designed only for use where the climate and conditions are well controlled, usually not were the active person hangs out.
The 6020 has exceptional photograph qualities as well as some environmental protection features that combined make for an exceptional photographic experience.
The photographic benefits and features of the Stylus Tough 6020 camera include:
- One click landscape pictures by just pointing, clicking and panning

Customer Reviews – the following is a brief recap of a few current reviews from Amazon.com
“I just bought this camera at best buy in Miami on vacation. I took it to the beach multiple times, went snorkeling for a couple of hours, and use it for everyday shots. The pictures are crystal clear. The 720p HD video looks awesome, especially on your HD tv. No issues with this camera. No problems with hooking it up to the computer. Just plug it in and there it is. Charges fast. Takes a sd card for extra memory…”
“After punishing this poor little camera all summer, i've gotta say i am deeply impressed with it. The case is now scratched and a bit worn from all the abuse i've put it through, and not only is it still holding up like a champ but it takes astonishing pictures; during my whitewater rafting trip i caught some killer 'mid action' pictures and never had to worry about keeping it dry, and never once had a blurry shot no matter how rocky the ride got.
The panorama option is also a phenomenal addition- i have some amazing sunset shots that look seamless thanks to the built in sensor (automatically lines up and takes the next 2 shots for you- all you have to do is move the camera and it does the rest). The zoom really impressed me too, especially underwater (just make sure you set it to the underwater option- i found that makes a big difference). …”
