Olympus - Tough TG-6 12.0-Megapixel Water-Resistant Digital Camera - Red

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.

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.

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.

I am so in love with this camera! It has exceeded my expectations.

This camera is very easy to carry around and let's me post my pictures on social media with wifi.

I actually bought and returned it at a Christmas price of $379. At that time I thought it was a great deal. Picture quality indoors or even outdoor at dusk was not good at all. Video just forget it. You can look at the reviews such as pcmag, digitalcameraworld, etc, they may give it good reviews, but I certainly didn't see it. Possibly if you use a tripod or good at photoshop. I used it like a phone... see a shot ...take it. Basically not worth the price even on sale. Another big thing it doesn't even come with a lense cover. That's a $50 extra item to purchase.

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!

TG4 was great. TG6 is newer and better. I do a lot of underwater photography and this rocks. I use the Olympus UW housing for extra depth and security. Camera is waterproof to 50 feet, housing to 130 or so. It's also insurance! I was diving in Philippines, two others flooded their cameras and were done for the rest of the vacation.... with a big fat bill to replace the cameras...My housing DID flood, but the camera was waterproof, dried out, and we were off again next dive! AND it takes excellent photos, macro or UEW or scene or whatever. Try it and buy it! :-)
