Announced - A Quality Tough Camera

I've wondered for many years when a Camera Brand would release an actual QUALITY water resistant / durable compact camera.... well it's finally here for 2012, read the extract from the press release and see the photo below:


CENTER VALLEY, Pa., May 8, 2012 – Olympus draws on its heritage of creating rugged, durable cameras that take the worry out of life-on-the-go shooting with the new Olympus TG-1 iHS. Marking a revolution for the Tough Series of Waterproof, Shockproof, Freezeproof, Crushproof and Dustproof compact cameras, the Olympus TG-1 iHS combines incredible durability with iHS technology, the world’s first high-speed bright f2.0 lens on a Tough camera and converter-lens compatibility to create a versatile system camera. The combination of durability and outstanding image quality make it possible to shoot in even the harshest conditions. Capture beautiful underwater scenes and aquatic life, snap photos of dusk-lit peaks or record your ride down the rapids in dazzling 1080p Full HD Video.
(( UPDATE - I've since  purchased this Camera on 8th JUNE 2012, it reached all stores shelves here in Singapore on 7th JUNE !! ))
