expertreviews‘s review Edit

Although the Tough-8000 is more rugged than the 6000, its disappointing image quality prevents it from being more than average.

HotHardware‘s review Edit

All in all, users must decide what features and qualities are most important. If you’re looking for the very best picture quality, a DSLR might be a better option than most compact point and shoot digital cameras. On the other hand, if you’re looking for versatility and durability with acceptable picture quality, the Stylus Tough-8000 will be hard to beat.

Macworld‘s review Edit

Overall image quality is good as long as you don’t push the camera to produce big enlargements. Underwater scene modes produced average results in a swimming pool, which feels like a missed opportunity for a camera designed to tame the elements. But for family vacations, rambunctious kids, and outdoor enthusiasts who want to document their adventures, the Tough 8000 will be a faithful companion.

TechRadar UK‘s review Edit

Olympus Mju Tough 8000 lives up to its name, as everything feels solid. The connector and battery covers are heavy duty affairs, and the shell is reassuringly metallic. And it's not just styling; Olympus says it can be dropped from a height of 2 metres or bear a 100kg weight, without caving in. Despite this, the controls are too dainty for extreme conditions. The buttons would be hard to operate underwater or in a blizzard, and the menu system is hard to navigate. Image quality is reasonable, with a decent amount of detail and pleasing colours. This Olympus underwater camera is designed to be stood on, dropped, frozen or submerged to depths of 10m.

Digital Trends‘s review Edit

Although we certainly like the tough concept and the ability to kiss your worries goodbye if drop your camera, step on it by mistake or take it into the snow and water without a care in the world, a digicam still has to take good pictures. The Olympus Tough-8000 really doesn’t do that primary task well, sad to say, and it’s hard to recommend at nearly $400.

Steve's Digicams‘s review Edit

Leading the way in "go anywhere, do anything" line of digicams, the Olympus Stylus Tough 8000 goes as deep and is as strong as any other camera on the market. A big plus is that the styling of the camera doesn't make it stand out as an underwater only camera.

PC Magazine‘s review Edit

Underwater cameras often come with tradeoffs: In the case of the Tough-8000, its handy, innovative tap controls are offset by underwhelming image quality and a steep price tag.

PhotographyBLOG‘s review Edit

The Olympus mju Tough 8000 is a special camera. Built to resist a fall of two metres, the pressure of ten metres of water, the weight of a corpulent man and the cold of a Continental winter, it is a camera that you can take pretty much anywhere.

The Imaging Resource‘s review Edit

As I said earlier, Olympus really poured all the good stuff into its Tough 8000. Its combination of "tough" features and ratings outranks anything else currently on the market, and it snaps photos with accurate color and better than average detail for its category.

CNET Reviews‘s review Edit

For going from snorkeling to rock climbing to everyday life, the Olympus Stylus Tough 8000 is a good choice, though its photos and performance can be disappointing.
