Great point and shoot underwater camera
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.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!
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.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.

Best underwater camera on the market
||Posted .Owned for 1 year when reviewed.We love our TG-6. We had the TG-5 and then upgrade to the TG-6 when it came out. This camera is great for diving. We use it all the time and get great photos. Especially macro. It’s also really good for above water photos. But where it shines is underwater and macro.

Tough Water Resistant Digital Camera, 12 MP
||Posted .Owned for 2 months when reviewed.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.

Ordered online. Arrived quickly. Great camera.
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.I have an older Olympus camera that is water and shock resistant, and it still takes great photos. This one is very much improved with many more options. Takes great photos and is perfect for me--a senior citizen with a love of capturing the wonders of outdoor life on camera. I have been using digital cameras for decades, and this one is excellent and versatile.

Love the macro setting!
||Posted .Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This is my third Olympus underwater camera. I upgraded since this one has RAW format and my older one didn't. I love the macro setting. You can really get close up to flowers, bugs, or anything else.

Great camera for the money
||Posted .Owned for 9 months when reviewed.Purchased it as a gift for a 10 year old. The camera works well. Took it recently on vacation and were able to take lots of very nice pictures. The camera takes nice shots under water. I was able to dive down to about 25-30 feet with it and take pictures of a sunken ship and other sea life. Camera performs reasonably well in dim light also. Definitely a good value for the price.

Q: QuestionDoes this camera come with the waterproof case??
Asked by Lacie.
- A:Answer The camera itself is waterproof to a certain depth (see specs). I only surface snorkel with it so no worries about the depth. There is an optional case you can purchase if you need greater depth and it is supposed to improve usability but it is very expensive. Other comments about this camera: I would recommend the optional lens cover that twists to open/close. It seems expensive for what it is but protecting the lens is important. Be aware the tiny button to start/stop recording movies is difficult to use. It is also not very obvious on the screen if it is recording a movie or not. I'm very satisfied with the picture quality and the GPS finds your location quickly.

Q: QuestionDoes this camera need a special lens for capturing photographs underwater? My GoPro needs special filters to capture the true colors underwater, so I'm just curious if this camera needs something similar, or if it works as is. Thanks in advance!
Asked by TwinMama15.
- A:Answer This will work with its regular lens in up to 50 Ft of water. Which is good for snorkeling or if your external housing leaks. However, I think its too easy to drop below 50 ft when diving to risk taking. For depths up to 200 ft there are several housings available from both Olympus and 3rd parties. These housings also include adapters for add on lenses and filters. This camera also has 3 preset under water white balance modes that will make an electronic color adjustment similar to that of an external filter
