Olympus TG-1 iHS Tough camera announced

Today Olympus announced the previously leaked TG-1 iHS Tough camera. This is probably the best rugged camera on the market today.

Main Features:

  • The TG-1 is equipped with a bright, high-speed f2.0 lens. Combined with iHS technology, this lens vastly improves shooting and image quality in low-light scenes.
  • Equipped with the strongest capabilities ever included on a Tough model: Waterproof functionality down to 12 m, shockproof functionality to 2m, cold resistant to -10℃, crushproof to 100 kgf
  • Equipped with iHS, which enables high-speed functionality from start-up to focusing
  • Equipped with A-GPS, enabling high-speed confirmation of your current location. Users can also append location information to images
  • Two types of completely waterproof conversion lenses (sold separately) can be attached to the TG-1: Fish-eye and tele-converter

Amazon is already taking pre-orders for the TG-1 iHS for $399.

First Canon mirrorless camera specs

Here are the first set of specs for the rumored Canon mirrorless camera:

  • Two cameras
  • G1 X sensor size
  • APS-C a possibility in one camera
  • 14 & 24 megapixels
  • EF compatibility, but not EF mount
  • EVF on one camera
  • 3-5 lenses announced at launch

If those specs turn out to be true, Canon's solution will be just another mirrorless camera - similar to what other manufacturers have been producing for years (meaning no full frame sensor).
