Olympus Tough TG-1 iHS

The Olympus Tough TG-1 iHS ($399.99 direct) is not your typical rugged point-and-shoot camera . This pocket shooter looks more like a traditional camera-its lens is centered rather than perched in the corner-and has a fast f/2 aperture on the wide end.
Pros:
  • Excellent high ISO performance
  • Fast f/2 lens
  • Snappy performance
  • Accepts filters and conversion lenses
  • GPS and digital compass
  • Macro LED light
Cons:
  • Not the sharpest lens
  • No dedicated battery charger

Olympus' Tough TG-1 iHS rugged camera to beat

Instead of producing just another really rugged camera (which it is), the Olympus Tough TG-1 iHS has something no other model currently offers: a bright f2.0 maximum aperture. In fact, the other rugged compacts on the market -- including those from Olympus -- have fairly slow lenses with maximum...
Pros:
  • The Olympus Tough TG-1 iHS is water-, dust-, freeze-, shock-, and crushproof
  • has fast shooting performance for its class
  • and has a fast lens with the capability to add on converter lenses for more shooting flexibility
Cons:
  • The TG-1 iHS has some minor design issues
  • such as a proprietary charging cable
  • that might turn some buyers off

Olympus Tough TG-1 review

The 4.5-18mm (25-100mm equivalent) wide zoom lens has a maximum aperture of f/2-4.9, with the 4x optical zoom lens ideal for most situations, although I would prefer a slightly longer focal length.

Tough-cams have come a long way over the past few years, but they've been best used as specialty cameras for the outdoors. Days at the beach, adventures on a mountain, a weekend at the slopes-whatever, as long as it was outside, in bright light.

I have had this camera over a month. I pre-ordered and got the camera a few days ahead of the release date. Right out of the box I liked the camera but wanted to wait till after a trip to Disney to really see how it preformed.

[REVIEW-OLYMPUS TG-1 TOUGH]

This 12mp camera with its bright f2–4.9 zoom (25–100mm) can be dropped two metres, submerged to twelve, frozen to -10 and sat on without doing any harm. (We didn't test the claims!) The handsome body is also dust proof, so you can take it to the Sahara or up Everest.

  • A range of add-on lenses are available
  • Incredibly tough credentials

  • Overly saturated blue channel in some situations
