Key Advantages
The OM SYSTEM Stylus Tough 8010 excels in ruggedness, providing comprehensive protection against water, shock, crush, freeze, and dust, ideal for demanding environments. Its back-illuminated CMOS sensor delivers superior low-light performance relative to conventional sensors. The 5x optical zoom with optical image stabilization enhances shooting versatility and image sharpness. Full HD video recording adds multimedia capabilities beyond stills. The camera’s compact and lightweight design offers portability without sacrificing durability. Additionally, user-friendly modes and an intuitive LCD interface simplify operation for users in challenging conditions.
Limitations
Despite its robust build, the Stylus Tough 8010 has a modest sensor size limiting noise control compared to larger-sensor cameras. The 5x zoom range may not satisfy photographers requiring longer telephoto capability. While suitable for casual and some professional use, its ISO range tops at 6400 which may not be sufficient in very low-light scenarios. The video frame rate is capped at 30fps with no options for higher frame rates or 4K resolution found on newer models. Battery life is average and may require extra batteries for extensive outdoor use. Its fixed lens design offers no lens interchangeability, reducing creative flexibility.
