Really, you don&#8217;t have to be a rock-climbing steroid-pusher to appreciate a hardy camera model.<\/p>\n<p>Both the 8010 and 6020 have 14-megapixel sensors and 5x optical zooms, with the only real difference being how far you want to test that hardiness&mdash;the 8010 can be dropped from 6.6-foot, resist temperatures up to -10\u00b0Ccrushed and crushed under 220 pounds of pressure and still survive. The 6020 is a little more weak-skinned, surviving under only a 5-foot fall.<\/p>\n<p>Both models have 2.7-inch LCD screens and shoot in 720p resolution, with the 8010 containing 2GB of internal storage.
