Hasta La Gadget!

Most of the time, we would think of digital cameras as sensitive devices, and they rightly are. After all, how many of you would not bother to cringe if you knock your digital camera against the corner of a table or the side of a wall by accident? Dropping your camera is an even worse clanger to experience, as something is bound to chip off or dent at the very best, and at the worse, you might have to purchase a whole brand new camera. Olympus understands this, which is why they have come up with the Olympus STYLUS TOUGH TG-3, where it will be able to deliver a new level of performance for the Tough series of rugged cameras, as it sports a high-speed f2.0 lens (25mm–100mm), expanded macro photography capabilities, GPS, and built-in Wi-Fi.

Of course, shooting photos under normal conditions would not be a challenge regardless of the digital camera that you use, but when the weather starts to turn foul, perhaps it is time for you to start to consider a waterproof camera, or at the very least, a weatherproof one. Case in point, the Olympus STYLUS TOUGH TG-3, where it has been specially built for it to be able to withstand extreme conditions. Just how tough is it to be able to live up to its namesake? Well, this camera happens to be freezeproof to -10℃ (14°F), waterproof to 50 feet (15 m), shockproof from seven feet (2.1 m), crushproof to 220 pounds (100 kgf) and dustproof.

As for its performance, you need not fret, since it will come with a high-speed f2.0–4.9, 4.5–8.0mm (25mm–100mm) wide-aperture lens that will work in tandem with its TruePic VII image processor, which is the same one that is found in Olympus’ award-winning OM-D series of interchangeable lens cameras, in addition to a 16.0 megapixel backlit CMOS sensor that allows it to capture images with minimal noise, even in low-light situations. Sounds impressive enough for those who live an active outdoor lifestyle, right?

The world of photography has certainly improved by leaps and bounds over the years, and this has also led to a thriving cottage industry of wedding photographers who have seemingly mushroomed in recent times. After all, it is a whole lot more affordable than film photography as you do not need to have that kind of innate skill right from the get go – just shoot and pray that one shot out of the many will look good when loaded onto the computer. Still, this is not to discount the fact that eventually, quality work and skill will win in the end, and having the right tool would go a long way in helping you along your journey. With the Olympus OM-D E–M10 camera, this interchangeable lens camera will merge outstanding image quality, speed and power of the flagship Olympus OM-D E-M1 and the Olympus OM-D E-M5 into an extremely compact and stylish all-metal body.

We are able to find that it boasts of the new TruePic VII image processor which can be found in the OM-D E-M1, a 16 megapixel Live MOS sensor, Wi-Fi connectivity, a large, high-speed electronic viewfinder, 3-axis image stabilization, ultrafast autofocus and a built-in flash, making it the ideal device that will be able to deliver quality images without breaking the bank. Accompanied by the new , super-slim M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 14-42mm f 3.5-5.6 EZ pancake zoom lens and the super-bright M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 25mm f1.8, it will also see the expansion of the Olympus Micro Four Thirds line all the way to 15 lenses.

It is also touted that the on-board FAST AF happens to be Olympus’ fastest-ever AF system that relies on 81 target areas which cover the entire image. Both small AF Target and Super Spot AF modes would also make it possible to zoom in and focus accurately on minute sections of the frame. The E-M10 can also capture high-speed action with 8fps sequential shooting, as the fast processor supports continuous capture of up to 20 RAW frames or an unlimited number of JPEG frames, and the Continuous Auto Focus with Tracking mode accurately tracks and captures moving subject as fast as 3.5 fps. Expect the Olympus OM-D E-M10 to be available this coming March in black and silver shades for $699.99 for the body only.
