Great for traveling
This camera is perfect for traveling. I have brought it everywhere from snowmobiling to snorkeling and it has performed great. The underwater function was very easy to use and the pictures came out decent. Still have to work on adjusting the settings for those so the pictures come out clearer. The only downfall is that there is no lens cap included. You would think it would come with the camera, but you have to purchase it separately which is a little ridiculous to me. Besides that, it is a great camera to have for any adventure.

Great camera
My daughter used this camera to capture videos and stills while scuba diving. It takes great underwater photos and videos. Even though the camera is waterproof, we bought the Seafrogs Waterproof Housing for additional protection underwater. This camera also takes great photos out of the water.

Great point and shoot underwater camera
Bought this as an upgrade to my other Olympus Tough camera that no longer would keep a tight fit of the battery. Bought the underwater case as well and did a wreck dive down to 93 feet. Of course you lose colors down that deep but it did a nice job with the video being clear even at that depth on an overcast day. Other dives were shallow reef dives with max depth of 32 feet and did a nice job with both the still shots and video. Tried using the underwater macro shot for a couple of nudibranches but there was significant surge underwater and not still enough to capture. However, pics of the nudibranches just using the regular underwater setting came out really nice. When in shallow water it does a nice job with the colors but even at 30 feet unless it is very sunny, without an external light it doesn't quite capture the colors correctly. However, with some minor edits, they turn out great!

Love this camera!
Bought this camera to take on a hiking/backpacking experience in the Grand Canyon. This camera took incredible pictures in the water and out. It is tough and rugged. It took a beating climbing up and down canyon walls. It got scratched up but nothing hindered it's performance. I'm very happy with this camera and would buy it again if I had to do it all over. Very easy for a beginner too! My only negative comment - I had to go looking for the manual online. It didn't come in the box with the camera. And in the big picture (ha ha), that's not so bad.

Tough Water Resistant Digital Camera, 12 MP
This is a light weight, easy to use, high quality camera. It takes photographs like professional cameras except you click and shoot. I took photos this past month in the mountains and it was snowing. The snowflakes looked perfect. I was so proud of the pictures they looked like they were taken by a professional photographer using a tripod stand and lighting. I took pictures of my daughter and son swimming underwater and you could see the water bubbles very clearly, even better than the naked eye. I highly recommend this camera to anyone looking for a good camera, even professionals should have this in their pocket. This is actually my second Olympus Tough TG Water Resistant Digital Camera, I lost my first one on vacation a couple of years back, I left it behind at one of the sites we visited and could not find it.
