Accidentally destroying a digital camera may become impossible thanks to the Olympus TG-810. The Olympus TG-810 is the brand’s latest “tough” camera designed to take high-quality pictures in all types of weather. The TG-810 has a 14-megapixel camera, a 5x zoom, a 3-inch LCD display screen and built-in GPS.

Your camera freezing won’t be an issue either, as the TG-810 is designed to operate in temperatures as cold as 14 degrees Fahrenheit. For the clumsy outdoorsmen, the Olympus TG-810 has a shockproof system that can withstand a 6.6-foot droop.

The coolest part of the Olympus TG-810 has to be its crush proof design, which can bear a load of up to 220 lbs. The Olympus TG-810 is set to drop next month and retail for $400.

In search for feedback on its momentous decision to dump Symbian in favor of Windows Phone, Nokia has put up the above poll on its Conversations website canvassing opinions about what users anticipate most out of the new deal. There's no consensus choice, with the equivocation of reactions being underlined by the fact that the "Other" option was the modal response, however of the given categories, a UI refresh and Xbox-related gaming boons turned out to be most important. No surprises there, Symbian's touchscreen UI shortcomings are well known about while the Xbox tie-up has been one of Microsoft's big selling points for Windows Phone 7 since its start.
