I haven't gotten to use my camera yet, I returned the first one because battery wouldn't charge. I even called Olympus. They told me it may be defective an instructed me to return it to Best Buy. The problem is the battery can be inserted incorrectly. I realized when I had the same issue with replacement. Looking forward to finally using the camera now that I can charge the battery.

For the money, you cannot beat the features of this camera. It's macro (micro-macro) is in a league of its own. Everything else this camera has to offer is the icing. Underwater photography, rock solid build make it a perfect vacation camera. The macro capabilities are what I was after and they are stunning. In my opinion, this is not your ordinary point & shoot.

We got this camera for our daughter who was going to Thailand and it was recommended to bring along a waterproof camera. She's taken 100s of pictures and video in the remote villages of Thailand with no problems. She was able to use the camera while scuba diving and no problems. Totally worth the money and extra memory cards we bought.

The TG5 is a great upgrade from my previous TG2 and TG3 and companion to my Nikon SLR. Great low-light ability and the waterproof
was great for the Burning Man festival that features dust storms that bring most cameras to their knees.

We loved this camera so much when we bought a previous version that when we recently decided to get a second camera as a gift we bought the newer version. It’s so easy to use and versatile. The water resistance is a plus when we go kayaking or boating. Also, love the red color- easier to locate than typical black.

This is the only camera that has stood up to our teams rough use in wet conditions. We are a pressure washing and grease exhaust cleaning company and this his currently the only camera we purchase for our teams. Must make sure to protect the serial number as it comes off easily while in use.

The wifi keeps running so the battery dies. It is so frustrating when I go to take a picture and the battery in dead. I even had a representative from Olympus help me at Photo Plus to do all the settings so that it would be shut off, but it wasn't. It's a bit frustrating.

I bought this camera for using while hiking, camping and traveling. Image quality is good and the ease of use is good. My son took it with him for his trip to Europe as he didn’t want to lug around a higher end DSLR. Also didn’t want to worry about rain in London or other parts of his travels.

This camera is built to be beaten up - and no scratches yet! On the very first day of use, my 9-year-old twirled it around and it flew about 15 feet away from us. I picked it up dreading the worst case and not even a scratch.

Camera continues to perform well when wet, such as while taking photos at the beach. Charging battery is confusing, though, as unit hibernates while charging so doesn't fully charge. Use a very large capacity SD card for best results.

This is the 6th Olympus Tough series camera I have purchased for my company for daily use in the elements on construction sites. Great quality photos and long life camera. Wish this model had a digital zoom like earlier models.

Use camera weekly at the lake to take pics. Takes great pictures. Also use at the beach. Do a good rinse of it each time I take in bodies of water. Get a camera life jacket and don’t have to worry about it. Get it!

Took this camera to Fiji and took some amazing photos snorkeling. The underwater HDR feature is amazing. The 4k video is good, too. I like this camera so much, I bought a second so that we both have one.

I bought these for work. These cameras have been used multiple times a day, 5 days a week for over a year now outside in the work field. We have not had any issues with any of them. Great quality. Easy to use.

I bought this as a gift for someone who rafted the Colorado down through the grand canyon. She did very well with it. She came back with 2500 pictures and movies. Now - what to do with them...

I bought this for the guys to use in the Warehouse when taking pictures for our Rope Training classes. It has withheld heights, several users and a few site visits. Would definitely recommend!
