LCD Screen
The 2.7-inch screen, with 230,000-pixel resolution,m can be set to five levels of brightness. The screen seemed to resist solarization at all appreciable angles. Pressing the Display button changes the amount of information displayed on the LCD. While shooting it toggles between blank screen, shooting information, grid or histogram. In playback you get basic information (shot number and time), EXIF data, clean screen or histogram.

The LCD is a bit on the small side, but very bright
Flash
The flash is very small, as is necessitated by the form factor of the camera. It can be controlled by tapping the right side of the camera, or through the four-way pad.
Lens
The lens offers a 3.6x zoom (5.0mm-18.2mm, equivalent to 28-102mm in 35mm photography), and is placed in the top right corner in a spot where it's very easy to get blocked by your fingers. It offers an aperture range of f/3.5 to f/5 tele, and a fixed aperture of f/5.1 while zoomed in all the way.

Connections
The Olympus uses an extremely well protected proprietary port for all data transfer and DC power needs.
The jack is very well protected
Battery
The Tough-8000's battery is a small, rechargeable lithium ion, similar to the one we've seen in Olympus' other point-and-shoot cameras.
You can just see the xD poking out above the battery.
Memory
Olympus supports only the company's proprietary memory format, the xD card, in its compact cameeras. These cards are only available to a maximum of 2GB, and are significantly more expensive than SDHC cards.
Other Features
Ruggedness –The camera is rated to 33 feet of water, 14°F in temperature, six feet of falling, and 220 pounds of crushing force. Unfortunately (or, perhaps, fortunately) we have no way of testing this at CES, so we'll take Olympus' word for it.
Manometer - This tool on the camera measure how far under water you are, or your height above sea level. If you're venturing too deep into the briny sea, it'll warn you that you're getting below the 10 yard limit. It can also tag your photos with EXIF data for later reference.
