Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Olympus Stylus Tough 6020 14 MP Digital Camera with 5x Wide-Angle Zoom and 2.7-Inch LCD (Black)
Customer Review: Great Camera, Don't listen to the 1 star reviewers
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this to replace another Olympus that was damaged. I liked the durability the description offered and I have been pleased with Olympus cameras in the past but I was not blindly "set" on this camera so I read many of the reviews here. I noted a disproportionate amount of 5 stars or 1 star. Those who rated 5 stars pointed to the 1 star reviewers and said they were not paying attention to the actual features,or 'learning' how to use it properly.
Now that I have it, I agree 100%. The 1 star reviews noted a delay in start-up,excessive shutter lag, and the inability to take photos in rapid succession. Well, as the others have said, those people just didn't read the manual,'play' with the menu,or otherwise 'just try'. I understand that some people think everything should be plug and play, but if you really want something that has all of the 'bells and whistles' you are going to have to put some time into it.
Within 10 minutes of just 'playing around' I found how to change turn off the immediate preview, and change the shutter speed from normal to 'sequential' to 'HI sequential'. (If turning in a circle and taking 10, perfectly focused photos in 3 seconds is too slow, then yes, this is the wrong camera.)
It has in-camera editing, including cropping,changing from color to B&W or Sepia, creating a calendar, clearing skin and the other options that my previous Olympus had like Macro,Portrait, Motion, Candle-light, etc.
There is also an 'in-camera' manual that you can access simply by pressing the ? button, which offers helpful tips with step-by-step.
The photos are great and the HD video is even better, very crisp and clear.
It's pretty sturdy, and thicker than the last one I had but it is still very light. I have not yet tested the waterproofing yet, nor dropped it on purpose because I would rather not scratch it.
The only aspects that I didn't like were that this model uses an SD card instead of the xD card that Olympus cameras typically use,(Now I have to buy a new card!)and the fact the you can't remove the battery to charge it. The battery does remove but to charge, you open the side and plug in the mini-USB provided, that uses an outlet or a PC. Leaving this side flap open during charging makes me concerned about damage/dust/etc, however, it does charge pretty quickly so I guess I can live with that.
Best Buy retails this same model for $299, but this was on 'sale' for $223, so it was more than I expected and $80 cheaper.
