Olympus Stylus TOUGH-8000

NoiseColor
Color accuracy was generally good, except for oranges and yellows.
Color (7.65)
In our tests on the accuracy of the colors that the Tough 8000 captured, we found that it had decent, but unspectacular performance. We test by photographing a color chart and comparing the captured colors to the originals, and we found that most colors were reasonably accurate. This camera did have some issues with some colors, though: skin tones were a little bright, while other colors (such as greens and yellows) were a little muted. More on how we test color.
