Olympus Stylus Tough 8000 Waterproof Camera Review: The One That Says Bad MotherF*cker On It
If there's a tougher waterproof camera, I haven't seen it before. That's not to say it's perfect, but it's the point and shoot I'd take to cover an Aquaman vs Red October brawl. More » -

Panasonic SDR-SW21 Waterproof Camera Non-Review: NO NO NO NO NO!
This camera doesn't deserve a review; it deserves a warning. It is one of the most expensive rugged cams, but takes only 640x480 SD video and 0.3MP stills as bad as the worst camphones. Miserable! More » -

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1 Waterproof Camera Review: My Favorite So Far, Oddly
It's not the most rugged, waterproof, or compact of its kind. And its photos aren't the best. But for some reason I really like this camera. Maybe I'm wrong. More » -

Sonim XP3 Review: Boiled Alive
You might not know it, but you've heard about the XP3: It's that phone that's always getting drenched, elephant-smooshed or shot, and surviving. Well, I finally got one, and the timing couldn't be better. XP3, I'm going to eat you. More » -

Pentax W80 Camera Review: Waterproof and Now Slightly Ruggedized
The Pentax W80 is their latest in a long line of waterproof cams that take decent shots, but have always been my favorite because of their compact size. This one is a bit bigger, but gains ruggedization and depth. More » -

Accidentally Take Your Gadget Swimming? Rice Might Be Your Best Friend
Who hasn't accidentally left a phone, camera or MP3 player in a swimsuit pocket and gone swimming? It's a harrowing experience, but there's hope: Dunking the gadget in rice is a somewhat surprising yet very effective drying method. More » -

Pentax's WS80 Budget Waterproof Camera Kind of Can't Swim
Pentax's Waterproof cameras are super pocketable, and so I love them, but the WS80 is only rated for 5 feet. That's no better than their first gen w10 model and far worse than their W80 model rated at 16 feet. More » -

GoPro Hero Wide Helmet Cam Gets Upgraded With 1080p, 720p Slo-Mo
Brian enthusiastically called the original SD Hero helmet camera, an easy-to-use wide-angle shooter, "cheap and amazing." With 1080p recording and 720p slow motion capability, GoPro's new Hero sacrifices a little of that first adjective for a ton of the second. More » -

Sony's XDV-W600 Portable TV Does Something Like No Other Bravia: Goes Bathing
Sony's XDV-W600 is no 60-inch high-contrast plasma TV, for sure: no, it'll sell for a different reason... it's waterproof. In fact, it meets IPX 7 and IPX 6 specs, and can safely go three feet under for half an hour. Clearly designed to go in the bathroom, it looks a smidge like a bar of soap, and has a 4-inch screen, recording function to its own 2GB internal memory, and runs for 23 hours from its own batteries supplemented by AAs. Bathing TV fans may be disappointed though: it's a oneseg digital unit, so we're unlikely to see this weirdness in the US. [AVWatch and Akihabaranews] -

Olympus Hazard-Proof Tap-To-Snap Stylus 1050 SW and Its Skinny Sidekick, the 1040
Olympus' tough-as-nails Stylus 1050 SW updates the 1030 SW with a tap-control feature that makes it easy to take pictures in extreme environments. While the specs are nearly identical to the 1030—10.1MP, 5 feet shockproof, 10 ft. waterproof, 14°F freezeproof—he 1050 uses an accelerometer to allow button-free control. Tapping the top, back or sides of the camera cycle through different options, so you can make adjustments to your pictures even if you're wearing gloves. It'll be out in October, and for $300, I'd tap that. The Stylus 1040, one of the best looking Olympus point-and-shoots we've seen, down below. More »
