The 6010 was revealed 3 years prior to the 3D1 and that is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. The two cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before delving right into a in-depth comparison, here is a quick view of how the 6010 scores vs the 3D1 for portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Olympus Stylus Tough 6010 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-3D1. The full galleries are available at Olympus 6010 Gallery and Panasonic 3D1 Gallery.
