Review on Olympus TG-860 Tough Waterproof Digital Camera With 3-Inch LCD (White) - International Version by Oscar Ferrell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Hard is the word - easy to use given its features!

I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by this camera in many respects. I bought it for several reasons. First I planned a trip to Roatan, a small island off the coast of Honduras that has one of the best reefs in the world. I didn't want to have a separate camera for underwater photo/video and above water use. I also knew that trying to use the phone's camera would be foolish due to the salt water environment, high humidity and sand everywhere and I preferred to protect my phone which had information on it that I wouldn't risk wanted to. My photos turned out great. , with the few poor expected, which is my fault. It has survived short falls, lots of water, sand and bounces in my bag. Second, I will be using it for photo/video windsurfing this spring/summer. I have high hopes that this will work as expected. I highly recommend that you familiarize yourself with the program's various options and how they react to the conditions you may encounter, before trying to just figure it out and likely missing a photo opportunity. The quality of your photos depends on your common sense and some standard photography guidelines, e.g. B. steady hands when taking photos, especially slow shutter speeds, optimal lighting, etc. Play around with it and when you're done 10, it's your turn. understand it. I would also advise you to put a cell phone like protective film over the viewfinder as I definitely felt this saved it from a lot of abuse. If this camera somehow fails in the future I will definitely update this.
