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.

Olympus Tough TG-1 Review
The Olympus Tough TG-1 could be viewed as the culmination of Olympus's many years in Tough camera development. The model is not only lifeproof, but also features an advanced imaging specification to match. The question is, is this the best Tough camera ever produced?
Pros:
- Good LCD screen
- f/2 maximum aperture
- general performance
Cons:
- Exposure issues
- optical accessories prohibitively priced

Olympus TG-1
Given Olympus all but created the ruggedised compact camera segment with its Tough range of cameras, it's no surprise that the TG-1 is an exceptionally solid performer.

Nice camera. JPEGs are high quality. User interface is simple and well-designed. Using it underwater is very simple, just need to verify that both hatches are double-locked before submersion. The macro mode produces truly spectacular images. It compares favorably with any SLR macro lens.

Really good, sturdy camera. Have tested it in salt water dropped it in asphalt, sand, mud, and it keeps. The dive to 18 meters in fresh water no problem. Good and crisp images, the presets are really cruel think yes. Now I'm no expert, this is my first camera.

- 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

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.

Olympus Tough TG-1
The TG-1 is the best tough camera from Olympus yet. The total redesign over previous models, as well as a whole new suite of internal specs, ensures that many of the issues that plagued previous cameras in the range are no longer a problem.
Pros:
- Strong macro performance
- A range of add-on lenses are available
- Incredibly tough credentials
Cons:
- Lens zoom sound detracts from audio quality of video recordings
- Overly saturated blue channel in some situations
