Release is scheduled middle of February 2010.
Olympus to Unveil µTOUGH-3000 Features :
- Waterproof, shockproof and freezeproof in the stylish design
- HD movie (MPEG-4 AVC / H.264) recording on SD card
- Large-capacity 1 GB built-in memory with photo-surfing capability using new [ib] PC software
Olympus’s µTOUGH Series of compact digital cameras feature a waterproof, shockproof and freezeproof design that assures reliable, high-quality shooting under conditions that ordinary cameras would be unable to endure, such as underwater or in cold winter conditions. From the tranquil to the turbulent, whatever the conditions, whatever the situation, this camera assures great results, giving users the opportunity to expand their enjoyment of photography.
The new µTOUGH-3000 inherits the proven super-tough structure of its predecessor — it’s waterproof to a depth of 3 metres, dustproof to keep out sand and dirt, shockproof against drop impacts from as high as 1.5 metres, and freezeproof at temperatures as low as -10°C. But behind its tough exterior, this new digital camera is surprisingly sophisticated, now offering the outstanding imaging power of a 12-megapixel CCD as well as four Magic Filter effects.
HD movie (MPEG-4 AVC / H.264) recording
Extended HDTV (1280 x 720 pixels) movie recording is possible thanks to the advanced MPEG-4 AVC / H.264 movie compression format. Compatible with the SD memory card, movie recording can be started and stopped at the touch of a button.
Photo-surfing
Made possible by the incorporation of a 1GB memory, photo-surfing allows you to download favorite pictures from your PC back to your camera, search desired pictures according to recording information such as “date”, “iAUTO” and “scene mode”, and view them on the camera. It’s just like the camera version of netsurfing. With the provided [ib] software, users can create image collections based on various criteria such as who is in the picture or where it was shot.
[ib] software
To help people make the most of the possibilities of digital imaging, Olympus has developed a powerful new software solution called [ib] to connect “images” (pictures and movies) and “humans” based on the concepts of “easy”, “safe” and “fun”.
[ib] allows you to organize old pictures, as well as newly recorded pictures. When the camera is connected to a PC for charging the battery, newly recorded pictures are automatically transferred to the PC so you never forget to back up your precious pictures. The software automatically classifies the pictures according to their recording date when uploading to the PC. It is also capable of recognizing the persons shot as subjects and classify the pictures accordingly. In addition, it can assign recording location information for each classified event or each picture. By making classification and organization of multiple pictures simple and easy, [ib] enables you to easily find the pictures you’re looking for.
