Olympus Showcased Tough Cameras this Summer

Olympus invited Cebu Tech Blogger on its recent resort tour at the Maribago Blue Water Resort in which they showcased the company’s Tough-series of cameras.

Dubbed as “Olympus Tough Summer”, the event first took place at the Imperial Palace Waterpark Resort and Spa on April 23, 2011, and a similar event was held at the Maribago Blue Water Resort a day after. The two separate events were organized in a beach setting as it suited local and foreign tourists trying the Olympus Tough cameras performance and capabilities in an underwater scene.

"A resort tour is very suited to the Olympus Tough cameras, since these are the only cameras that are waterproof and virtually damage-proof as well," noted Alex Bonilla, product manager of Olympus digital cameras.

For those CTB readers who are new to Olympus cameras, the Tough-series are actually designed as waterproof, shockproof, and crushproof. Being a camera-maker headquartered in Japan, which has a predominantly temperate climate with average winter temperature as low as 5.1 degree Celsius, the Olympus Tough cameras are also designed to be freeze-proof (though the company also designed such type of cameras for other low-temperature regions).

Among those cameras showcased during the event include the Olympus Tough 8010, 6020, and 3000. These cameras can take great photos on land and also under water up to 33 feet. It can fall from as high as seven feet and even get frozen up to -10 degree Celsius, yet still works fine as expected.

Guests and tourists were able to try the Tough cameras in which the photos can be printed for free, while others decided buying the units directly from the booth located at the beach. Olympus said such models of its Tough cameras are available in Colours Digital Foto, the company’s valued dealer in the Visayas region.



The event also served as a pre-launch of the newest models of Olympus Tough cameras, the TG 310, TG 610, and TG 805. The new models will hit local stores this month of May, so keep your eyes on the shelves whenever you visit your favorite camera and gadget stores this summer.
