Olympus Tough TG-1 Digital Camera Review
It's obvious to see from the product images that the Olympus TG-1 is a 'tough' camera with its overall metal and rubber construction it certainly appears to be a rather sturdy & serious camera.

Olympus TG-1 iHS
Olympus' Tough series of lifeproof cameras has a new flagship for 2012, the TG-1 iHS. Not only is it the world's first lifeproof camera to incorporate an ultra-bright, high-speed f2.0 lens (as of April 23, 2012), but you're also going to get a 12-megapixel backlit CMOS sensor powered by Olympus'...

Great features, Great pictures
I bought this camera for underwater snorkeling in the Carribean but have ended up using it as my primary camera. It takes wonderful underwater shots down to 40ft using 3 underwater scene modes.
Pros:
- Portable but powerful
- Lots of useful scene and special effect modes
Cons:
- It is a bit pricey

Olympus Tough TG-1
Olympus, it has to be said, knows a thing or two about the ‘tough' or ‘ruggedised' digital compact camera market, having practically invented it with the launch of the mju range in 2003.
Pros:
- Fast f/2 maximum aperture
- Good OLED screen
- Speedy continuous shooting
Cons:
- Inconsistent metering issues
- Optical accessories prohibitively priced

A great camera
I'm using my new camera in the Solomon Islands and it's taking some great photos not only of the wonderful Islands but under water as well. Travelled to Mbike Island the other day for some diving, snorkelling and lying on the beach, the camera was easy to use, worked really well under water and I...

Olympus Tough TG-1 iHS
The Olympus Tough TG-1 waterproof digital compact camera looks and feels like it should -- rugged and ready to take on the elements. It's also incredibly fast -- in both the bright f/2.0 lens and in autofocus, startup and shot-to-shot times, but image quality suffers a little more than we'd like,...
Pros:
- Solidly built camera that screams quality and substance
- Good grip makes it easy to handle and shoot underwater
- Bright
- fast f/2.0 wide-angle lens with slow
- precise 4x zoom
- Equipped with a physical Mode dial
- Large (3-inch)
- bright (perhaps too bright!
Cons:
- Test shots were almost consistently underexposed
- except at telephoto
- Not much telephoto reach (100mm equivalent
- Maximum aperture falls rather quickly to f/4.9 at telephoto
- Moderate distortion at wide angle
- OLED monitor tends to clip highlights and washout midtones
- plus colors are unrealistic

Excellent picture quality for a digital camera. The digital zoom is excellent. When you take the picture at full zoom, the image on the LCD screen looks grainy but once the picture is taken, the picture is clear and crisp. Overall, good buy.

The best Waterproof camera out-there at this moment. The design is not great, but is the best performance overall.

Perfect, until it met sand
Bought the camera for the family cruise to the Bahamas this week, and it was perfect until we got to the beach. Within the first hour, the shutter button started sticking, then all the other buttons did as well, sand that got in between them had dug themselves so far into the camera that I couldn't...
Pros:
- Great features
- great pictures
Cons:
- Raised or open buttons allow sand to get in and then they're stuck

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.
