Olympus µTough 8000

I've had this camera since June 2009. It's shockproof to 2 metres and waterproof to 10 metres, although to be honest it's toughness hasn't really been tested.

I bought it particularly with horseriding in mind - thinking it might get dropped from a horse, land in water, get kicked and so forth. It's been good to know that it could take a few knocks if it needed to.

It's also quite compact to it's easy to keep with me most of the time.

So any photographs taken from the back of a horse or something snapped on the way home was probably taken with this camera.
