This review is from: Olympus 228090 TG-610 Digital Camera (Silver)I purchased this camera because I wanted a camera that could go with me where ever I went. Last year I purchased one of the waterproof cameras from Fugifilm (finepix xp10) and was not impressed, it felt cheap and ended up leaking water behind the screen after 2 uses. I returned it after that and went without a waterproof digital for the rest of the summer. This year I decided to spend a little more money hoping to get a lot more camera. I wanted pictures at the lake, on the river, in the pool and I didn't want to have to worry about my camera getting ruined while I was having fun. So far I'd say The Olympus TG-610 I picked is perfect camera for my needs. Right out of the box I could tell this camera was far superior to the fuji. This olympus is metal, the buttons feel much nicer, the screen is bigger and more clear, it just has a nice look and feel to it. So far I've had it in and out of the water on multiple occasions without any problems, haven't tried snorkeling but it works great in the river or swimming pool. In bright light the picture quality is impressive, especially after reading poor reviews of other 'tough' cameras and the less than satisfactory performance of the fuji. I think this one takes good pictures, not professional quality, but plenty good to enjoy and share. Even in low light at concerts we have had good luck getting crisp images. The video feature is nice, easy to use and so far respectable results. The only things I wish were better about this camera are the flash, start-up time is slow and there is a long lag between pictures. The flash always leaves a shadow behind your subject, it doesn't have the double flash that a lot of point and shoot cameras have today. Then there is the start up time. It seems like it takes forever for this camera to turn on and be ready to fire, then once you do get your first picture taken, it again takes a long time before you can get another one. There are a couple of different burst shooting modes available but if you are just in regular shooting mode it takes a good 3 to 4 seconds between pictures, with significant shutter lag. That all being said, I bought this camera for outdoor adventure use and so far it has done everything I've asked of it, and I've gotten a lot of pictures, great pictures I could not have gotten without the waterproof feature of this camera. . . this is a must buy for the adventurer or summer outdoor enthusiast!
This review is from: Olympus 228090 TG-610 Digital Camera (Silver)I bought this camera after trying out a friends. I'm really impressed with the abilities of this camera. I have a SLR camera which I love but wanted something not so bulky for times when it's inconvenient to carry a larger camera. This proved useful after a business trip to Las Vegas and after a lot of walking and riding packed buses I'm glad I chose to take this compact camera. The TG-610 is quick to focus which is great for those shots you hope you got of Elvis. Love the underwater capability,I look forward to another trip to Alaska where it rains a lot... but not to worry with this camera! This will also come in handy if grand-kids ever come along for sunny (or rainy) days at the beach or pool as well as the shock proof feature. Kids like to take pictures too and I won't have to worry if they drop the camera. The video feature is quick and convenient to use. With 14mp my photos turn out great!
This review is from: Olympus 228090 TG-610 Digital Camera (Silver)I took this camera recently to Indonesia and we spent a lot of time in water, hot conditions, and in hard places. It never dissapointed. I love the fact that you can move around on bumpy rides and still take great pics. It worked great underwater and never had to worry about it working. I used while snorkeling and in shallow scuba diving with no problems. My wife even dropped it once with no issues. It really does what it advertises.
