Olympus TG-630 iHS Preview
Olympus has announced a new entry-level tough series camera, the TG-630 iHS. While it may have a slightly smaller CMOS image sensor at 12 megapixels, is only waterproof down to 16ft and shockproof up to a 5.5ft fall, and doesn't have a crushproof rating, the TG-630 has a lot of great features from its more expensive siblings, the TG-830 iHS and the TG-2 iHS.
These include being dustproof, the ultra-fast TruePix VI Image Processor, and a plethora of digital features and effects like iAuto, Magic Art Filters, Beauty Make-up Mode. The Filters and Beauty modes are more artistic outlets, but the Enhanced iAuto mode actually selections between 34 different preset scene modes to optimize the camera for any shooting condition. Speaking of which, the TG-630 iHS also features Backlit HDR and Hand-Held Starlight modes, which a great for capturing pictures in darker conditions without having to pull out a tripod.
