Beside being physically strong and tough, Olympus also does not compromise on the quality of images produced by its µ Tough 8000. The Olympus Tough 8000 features Dual Image Stabilization. This is the first time the Tough series digital camera offers Dual Image Stabilization technology which combines CCD-shift image stabilization with high-sensitivity shooting. Olympus’s Dual Image Stabilization effectively prevents image blur that may be caused by a shaken camera or subject movement and keeps images sharp in whatever extreme environments, whether on land or underwater.
