NYCkayaker cameras

[Richard Clifford]

NYCKayaker:

I have often seen posts with folks looking for all sorts of gear, and 
occasionally a camera. I noticed this story and camera in the NYTimes, 
Technology/Personal Tech section. Not a product endorsement on my part. 
And, if anyone were to ask me I would say, save your money, don't buy 
anything, the stories you tell might be bigger than all the words 
together. Anyway, the camera is not available until February. So, a nice 
cooling off period. Best wishes, Richard Clifford

  Rugged, Speedy, Aquatic, Cold-Tolerant. And Not a Seal.

By RIK FAIRLIE

Olympus unwrapped its Stylus Tough-3000 camera at the Consumer 
Electronics Show 
<http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/subjects/i/international_consumer_electronics_show_ces/index.html?inline=nyt-classifier> 
last week. The Tough-3000 is the first of the company's rugged line to 
offer HD video capture (720p) and is also the most affordable Tough 
model at $230. The Stylus Tough-3000 can withstand a five-foot drop, is 
submersible to 10 feet and works in temperatures as low as 14 degrees. 
These are basically the same specs as the existing $280 Stylus Tough-6000.

The Stylus Tough-3000 and all cameras announced at C.E.S. include 
Olympus's familiar Art Filter in-camera effects, now renamed Magic 
Filter. The effects included in these cameras include Pop Art, Pin Hole, 
Fish-Eye and Drawing, which turns images into sketches.

The new cameras also offer AF auto-tracking for locking in on 
fast-moving subjects, as well as a new Pet Mode for tracking your 
greyhounds and other speedy animals. Olympus says it has improved the 
user interface for more intuitive operation and added software for 
faster downloading and support for features like geotagging.

The Stylus Tough-3000 will be available in February in red, pink, blue 
and green (so you can't lose it in the snow). RIK FAIRLIE
