Customer Reviews:
Stylus Tough 6020
Great camera for what I wanted. The only cons I have noticed is that the camera is a bit slow to turn on and normal shutter speed is slow as well. The screen makes images look a bit pixelated but when they are uploaded to my computer they look great. I guess its just a sacrifice for a more durable screen. This is what I wanted for backpacking, hunting and fishing when you can’t always count on the weather here in MT.
Bad Experience, Not Recommended
Pros : Great Resolution, Large Clear LCD, Small / Compact

Bought Olympus Stylus Tough 6020 camera and 8 MB Extreme III card for vacation trip to Florida. I’ve used Nikon and Sony cameras for 10 years and was looking for a waterproof, durable and reliable camera. Unfortunately the camera is not reliable.
Camera locked up many times during vacation and I had to remove battery to get it to reset. Once I got home I was unable to download pictures into the computer. It also has a very limited battery life.
I use Aperture (Mac) and have about 10,000 photos in my library. Tried recovering the files from both a Mac and PC with no luck. I had to recover each file individually and reset the camera (pulling out the battery) for every failed file. After 5 hour process of recovering files, I was finally able to recover 98 of the 144 pictures taken.
Called Olympus support but got no assistance.
I would not recommend buying this camera before a vacation or any special event without putting it through its paces first.
I will be returning it.

not super happy with picture quality and on/off startup
The display is smaller than I thought it’d be and the quality of the picture isn’t what I expected. The on/off startup of the camera is somewhat slow compared to equaivalent camera’s in this price range. I’ve since then returned the camera to the distributor to try a new one, thinking maybe I received a lemon as being an early adopter of new stuff, this sometimes will happen.
