Did anyone else see the range rover wheel *miss* the camera? And in soft mud, yes it till survive. That's not strength, that's boyancy. I'd be more impressed if this was done on concrete or tarmac. Or various types of rock, if the first two are too boring for you.

bit like a Benny Hill film when someone gets run over by a steam roller then gets up again. Utter Crap!

Well done Olympus marketing team
I agree it didn't look very tough as such - I was expecting to see rougher handling than that. I think the wheels went to just either side of the camera in the end.
However, there's not many digital cameras that would survive that sort of treatment, such as dragging along a stony strack and immersion in muddy water. It looks to be able to cope with well above the average level of manhandling for a camera.
