If Father Christmas is feeling generous.

After 3 years of uni, i think I have managed to get through easily that many cameras, if not more, after many snap happy, drunken nights out ending in the solemn disappointment of an empty, cameraless bag the morning after.

So having managed to break a couple and lose a couple, the time has come for another new camera. But this time I don't want a cheap fix, safe in the knowledge that it will be lost or broken soon anyway. I want something that will be able to handle my trip and document everything that we see.

I have been introduced to the Olypus Tough range, a seemingly indestructible range of cameras that have it covered.... waterproof, freezeproof, shockproof, Lauraproof.

I have been given a few recommendations for this one, but would be great to know what people think?

I think it will be finding its way onto my Christmas list before long.
