Given the high ratings of Survivor and extreme sports, it makes all the sense in the world that tough digicams are more popular than ever. You've gotta record those exploits to share with the world, right? As we reported from PMA, several companies added their names to the growing list offering cameras that can take a serious beating, such as crashing onto rocks, being stepped on, tossed into overboard or just plain manhandled by a rambunctious three-year-old. Olympus started the trend with its Stylus SW series, and now has introduced two new ones with an official "tough" designation. The 12-megapixel Tough-8000 is the more rugged of the pair and the one we were most anxious to try out. Should it join you on the slopes or white water rafting? Let's find out.
