Someday they may fix the confusion but for now, dont expect a MASD-1 card adapter to come with the camera. Found out that the panorama function does not work with the micro-sd cards anyway. So if 2gb is enough memory storage for you (max memory for the xd picture card from olympus) then get an xd picture card from olympus. from Newegg.com It wasn't on all pictures. Still playing with the settings, trying to optimize pictures. For 12 MP, could be clearer in the water and out of the water. At this point, I certainly would buy the camera again. from Amazon.com Will really give it a workout in Nov. when in Mexico; planning on snuba diving, deep sea fishing, Chichen Itza, and snorkeling. I also liked that it came with a microSD Olympus adapter, good call Olympus. from Amazon.com Great camera. I use it in my watersports business and I destroyed the Tough- 6000 in 3 weeks. This one is tougher and has lasted the whole summer. from Amazon.com I bought the 8000 for my fishing trip to ALASKA and it exceeded my expectations.... I'm a camera novice but by the end of the trip the 8000 worked like a champ and handled whatever mother nature could dish out where as my buddies had to put there cameras and video cameras away because of the weather...we would have lost alot for great photos and videos if not for the 8000....the panoramic feature was great and so easy to use..... from Amazon.com I bought three to try out, Olympus, Panasonic and Nikon, The Olympus had two CON: the lens cover and different sized memory card. The Panasonic was the one I choose for our group. from Amazon.com Dont get me wrong. I like this camera. It is quite tough and have had it in and out of water on a weekly basis with no problems, knock on wood. The problem is that the iAuto mode for automatic adjustements just plain s*cks. from Amazon.com You can manually set the iso to 64! Takes great photos. I brought my big Cannon SLR to Puerto Rico, but ended up mounting my Olympus 8000 to the tripod and using it instead. Built in LED flashlight is awesome. from Amazon.com Item was returned because the buttons were too small for me to operate, start-up was too slow, and the image stabilization was inferior to other products. Olympus Stylus Tough-8000 12 MP Digital Camera with 3.6x Wide Angle Optical Dual Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.7-Inch LCD (Black) from Amazon.com Boooo. I read the reviews, but felt that statistically, the positive reviews outweighed the negative. I can't believe that 12-megapixel photos can look so bad. This camera takes awful photos. from Amazon.com

Description

The Olympus Stylus Tough 8000 can be taken from skiing off mountaintops to as deep as 33 feet under the water, to capture the memories of your active lifestyle. Clad in a silvery metal body that can absorb the shocks from drops as high as six and a half feet, its ruggedized LCD screen is durable and bright enough to be used almost anywhere.
