|
Wednesday, 23 May 2012 |
 In theory at least, the entire Olympus Tough range presents a host of
compact cameras that are versatile, seemingly unbreakable and solid both
literally and in terms of their overall performance. Fact is, in
reality they are exactly this and as expected the TG-820 is no
exception. Imagine a compact camera that’s as tough as its name implies:
