Got the camera two days ago and it's really solid. Though people complain about its getting heavier and chunkier, such trade-off is actually a benefit. The solid built gives it more strength to withstand being thrown or submerge into the water.

Great camera
Bought this camera as a second camera for a vacation. Used it more often than I thought I would. Sharp clear photos. Loved the video option as well. Very satisfied with my purchase. Will definitely use it at the cottage and on the boat this summer.

Olympus TG-820 Tough Digital Camera Review
In theory at least, the entire Olympus Tough range presents a host of compact cameras that are versatile, seemingly unbreakable and solid both literally and in terms of their overall performance. Fact is, in reality they are exactly this and as expected the TG-820 is no exception.

Nice waterproof camera!
This camera is a kind of G-Shock version of digital camera. It's not as slim as other regular cameras, but it's heavy duty features are great. Especially I like the design and large LCD monitor. I have used this in salt and fresh water without any problem.
