Key Advantages
The Olympus Tough 6020 offers excellent durability for outdoor users, with robust water, shock, freeze, and crush resistance. Its 5x optical zoom lens provides versatility for wide-angle to telephoto shooting. The camera delivers good image quality for its class thanks to a 14MP sensor and image stabilization. Compact size allows easy portability and use in extreme conditions. Full HD video recording adds multimedia capability beyond still photography. User-friendly controls and an LCD screen make operation straightforward even underwater or in adverse weather.
Limitations
While the Tough 6020 is rugged, its image sensor is a CCD type, which may have more noise compared to newer CMOS sensors in low light. The camera lacks advanced features such as RAW image capture and manual focus control. The 2.7-inch LCD is relatively small by modern standards, limiting framing ease. HD video is limited to 720p resolution rather than full 1080p. Battery life is modest, requiring extra batteries for extended use. Slow lens aperture range limits low-light performance and depth of field control.
