Customers praise the TG-4 16.0-Megapixel Waterproof Digital Camera's exceptional image quality, especially its underwater capabilities and macro setting. Its waterproof design and ease of use are also frequently highlighted as positive aspects, along with the convenient WiFi functionality for easy image transfer. While some users noted minor issues with the LCD screen and autofocus, the overall feedback points to a highly capable and user-friendly camera.
While most people are happy with the photos from their smartphone, I still like to have a dedicated camera, especially when outdoors, around water, wind and sand. I have a 3 year old Oly Tough Camera and was generally happy with it but several key areas were lacking - no wide angle lens setting, poor battery life and very slow GPS readings. With several snow skiing trips on the calendar, i decided to look into replacing the Oly. I looked at several competing models from Fuji and Nikon and a few different Oly models. The TG-4 offered a much wider angle lens than I had and an updated GPS system. Knowing the importance of fast glass, I ponied up the extra dough for the f/2 lens on this model. I quickly ordered 3 extra batteries as I really like to GPS tag my photos but also know what a drag they can be on the battery. In usage, I skied 7 days over the Christmas holidays, storing the camera in an outside pocket on my backpack hip belt. The GPS locked in on coordinates faster than I ever expected and the first battery lasted 3 days, totally negating the need to carry multiple batteries. The images looked great (and I'm a regular DSLR shooter) and the video was good, albeit a little slow to lock in focus.

I bought the camera before going on a vacation first of September 2015 to Cozumel Mexico. The camera is beautiful. Simple to operate. Has great modes. Shoots raw and I loved it. I used it snorkeling, freediving to 35 feet. I had an underwater flashlight with me for extra light where and when it was dark. Amazing underwater picture. Simply amazing! Above water i saw a little bit of grain in Apature mode with high Iso but I'm sure I could have tweaked that. Was getting use to it. I took a risk as people said that the lens gets foggy when used underwater, not for me, not once! Also I spoke with Olympus prior to purchase and they said if it does get foggy due to temperature change, it will only last ten minutes max as camera will adjust and fog will dissipate. Never came down to it. This is my favorite point and shoot of all time! It also has AN AMAZING Macro mode!!!

The micro is my favorite on this camera. I have had it for over a year now and just adore it. The immensely small comes to life. I have taken great action shots of water falls and panoramas of rock sentiment on dried up river beds. Over all a great traveling camera that takes the fear of dropping it or getting it wet out of the way. It is easy to use and I recommend it for anyone. Cons: needs to come with a case or lens cover.
