Well the Olympus u-Tough appears to be not so tough after all. The camera served well but the hot springs killed it. Not that hot (after all we were sitting in it) but too hot for the Olympus u-Tough-8000.
The memory card contacts shorted out and the LCD is peeling inside from the water and you can see water in the Flash, etc.
Dead, dead, dead.
At least the Kodak Zi8 HD video camera is working well. This will need to suffice for a while. The video quality is super and it's a still camera too. It does not pretend to be tough so it will avoid water at all costs.
Sure wish the Olympus didn't die. It was my 2nd Olympus Tough camera as the first one is sitting on a stream bed somewhere in Australia.
