| Bottom line | The Olympus Stylus Tough 8010 is rugged on the outside, but average on the inside. | The Olympus Tough TG-1 iHS combines a bright lens, a high-sensitivity, high-speed sensor, and some nice extras to make it a top rugged compact camera. | The rugged camera that doesn't look rugged, the
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX20 is a nice option for people wanting an ultracompact for days by the pool and nights on the town. | The Pentax Optio WG-2 is a very good rugged camera with few trade-offs for its durability. | The Canon PowerShot SX260 HS' wider, longer lens, a few much-needed design tweaks, and excellent photo quality add up to one pretty great compact megazoom. |
