I doubt this lens can resolve 12MP anyway.]]>Jul 17th 2009 5:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/olympus-mju-tough-6010-seeks-a-clumsy-photographer-for-a-lifetim/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/olympus-mju-tough-6010-seeks-a-clumsy-photographer-for-a-lifetim/]]>Jul 17th 2009 5:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/olympus-mju-tough-6010-seeks-a-clumsy-photographer-for-a-lifetim/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/olympus-mju-tough-6010-seeks-a-clumsy-photographer-for-a-lifetim/Jul 17th 2009 6:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/olympus-mju-tough-6010-seeks-a-clumsy-photographer-for-a-lifetim/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/olympus-mju-tough-6010-seeks-a-clumsy-photographer-for-a-lifetim/
Oops, obviously I meant that I don't think the lens can resolve the max resolution of the camera.]]>Jul 17th 2009 6:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/olympus-mju-tough-6010-seeks-a-clumsy-photographer-for-a-lifetim/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/olympus-mju-tough-6010-seeks-a-clumsy-photographer-for-a-lifetim/
But really, the Olympus SW/Tough line have consistently produced the lowest image quality, so it's not a really good benchmark.

As for outresolving, you need to remember that most lenses produce their best quality at something in between largest and smallest aperture, not at the extremes. But really, a small sensor like this can't resolve anywhere near 12 megapixels... that's why something like the old, old Fuji 6mp digicams produce images superior to current 12megapixel compacts.

And... yay! Death to xD! About the only company still supporting it is Olympus (even Fuji dropped it), and it seems even they are letting it go. It's about time.]]>Jul 18th 2009 5:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/olympus-mju-tough-6010-seeks-a-clumsy-photographer-for-a-lifetim/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/olympus-mju-tough-6010-seeks-a-clumsy-photographer-for-a-lifetim/

it appears to the camera as the fastest type of xd card as well, so no probs recording unlimited video etc]]>Jul 17th 2009 6:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/olympus-mju-tough-6010-seeks-a-clumsy-photographer-for-a-lifetim/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/olympus-mju-tough-6010-seeks-a-clumsy-photographer-for-a-lifetim/Jul 17th 2009 4:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/olympus-mju-tough-6010-seeks-a-clumsy-photographer-for-a-lifetim/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/olympus-mju-tough-6010-seeks-a-clumsy-photographer-for-a-lifetim/Jul 17th 2009 6:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/olympus-mju-tough-6010-seeks-a-clumsy-photographer-for-a-lifetim/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/olympus-mju-tough-6010-seeks-a-clumsy-photographer-for-a-lifetim/Jul 17th 2009 6:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/olympus-mju-tough-6010-seeks-a-clumsy-photographer-for-a-lifetim/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/olympus-mju-tough-6010-seeks-a-clumsy-photographer-for-a-lifetim/Jul 17th 2009 8:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/olympus-mju-tough-6010-seeks-a-clumsy-photographer-for-a-lifetim/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/olympus-mju-tough-6010-seeks-a-clumsy-photographer-for-a-lifetim/
and i agree this megapixel competition is rediculous. however in strong daylight at iso 100 a point and shoot can take some nice pictures, and at 12mpx they can later be cropped on a computer, thereby getting around the problem of having no optical zoom. ]]>Jul 17th 2009 12:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/olympus-mju-tough-6010-seeks-a-clumsy-photographer-for-a-lifetim/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/olympus-mju-tough-6010-seeks-a-clumsy-photographer-for-a-lifetim/Jul 27th 2009 1:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/olympus-mju-tough-6010-seeks-a-clumsy-photographer-for-a-lifetim/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/olympus-mju-tough-6010-seeks-a-clumsy-photographer-for-a-lifetim/Jul 17th 2009 1:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/olympus-mju-tough-6010-seeks-a-clumsy-photographer-for-a-lifetim/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/olympus-mju-tough-6010-seeks-a-clumsy-photographer-for-a-lifetim/Jul 17th 2009 2:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/olympus-mju-tough-6010-seeks-a-clumsy-photographer-for-a-lifetim/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/olympus-mju-tough-6010-seeks-a-clumsy-photographer-for-a-lifetim/i expect more from engadget... wtf is mju?]]>Jul 17th 2009 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/olympus-mju-tough-6010-seeks-a-clumsy-photographer-for-a-lifetim/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/olympus-mju-tough-6010-seeks-a-clumsy-photographer-for-a-lifetim/Jul 17th 2009 3:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/olympus-mju-tough-6010-seeks-a-clumsy-photographer-for-a-lifetim/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/17/olympus-mju-tough-6010-seeks-a-clumsy-photographer-for-a-lifetim/Jul 18th 2009 9:02AM
