After Panasonic, Canon and Nikon have all announced their rugged camera options for 2012, it’s now Olympus’ turn to show us their own take on the matter.

Called the Tough TG-820, the 12MP snapper comes in a variety of colors and Olympus says it’s not only waterproof to depths up to 10 meters but also shockproof, freezeproof and crushproof.

In terms of the usual camera specs, Olympus has decided to pair the TG-820 with a 5x wide optical zoom (28-140mm) that is seconded by the company’s TruePic VI image engine.

Others special features include support for the iHS technology, HDR backlight adjustment, a 3D shooting mode, dual-image stabilization and a range of magic filters.

Video recording is also supported, the camera being able to capture such content at 1080p resolutions.

If all these specs sound good to you, then you should know that the TG-820 will arrive in March for $299 (225 EUR) a pop.
