Review on πŸ“· Olympus TG-610 Tough 14 MP Digital Camera: Durable, 5x Wide Optical Zoom, 3" 920K LCD (Black) - Best Price! by Mike Pearson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A camera you don't have to worry about.

Excellent camera. It's nice when I have a camera and I don't have to worry about it being damaged outside, especially when doing water sports or when it's raining. I took the TG-610 to the Cayman Islands and took some amazing underwater pictures. The pictures were significantly better than a disposable underwater camera. The Camera takes pretty good point and shoot shots however there are a couple of shortcomings that prevent this camera from getting five stars The navigation button on the back of the camera is tricky to use at times as it's too easy to accidentally select the wrong one The video quality wasn't very good either. The camera seemed to have trouble focusing and turned on and off too many times. I wouldn't rely on this camera for your video needs leave. There also seems to be a small quality control issue. I had to exchange the first two cameras I received as they broke right out of the box. My mother, who also bought the same camera, also had to trade in her first one after it leaked on the second underwater shoot. Overall, this is a great camera for people who are outdoors a lot, have children, are accident prone, or want to get into amateur underwater photography.

Pros
  • 14 effective megapixels, 1/2.3" image sensor; 5x optical zoom (28mm wide) plus 4x digital zoom
Cons
  • Fits
