Olympus Tough TG-6 Waterproof Digital Camera - Capture Stunning Photos & Videos Underwater!

Dejan GlozicDejan Glozic: I got this camera and the matching housing for my travel to Cozumel, Mexico. It works as advertised, working great on its own, without any lights needed. However, using built-in white balance underwater modes gave mediocre results, with the deep videos (>60ft) mostly blue.

I got much better results by carrying a white slate in the BCD pocket and computing custom white balance every time lighting or depth changed. I mostly shot videos, at 1080p 60Hz.

MR Jacques Damy: Je l ai utilisé dans une piscine pour filmer et photographier les enfants.
Très bon rendues à la fois des photos et des videos.

Diberville: Disons le tout de suite : avec son petit capteur, et quoi que vous tentiez, l'Olympus TG6 ne vous offrira jamais de meilleures images qu'un DSLR ou mirrorless, même bas-de-gamme mais qui disposent tous de capteurs incomparablement plus grands. Et il y a même de fortes chances que vous obteniez de meilleurs résultats avec un simple iPhone !

Alors quel est l'intérêt du TG6 ? - tout simplement dans le fait d'être capable de prendre des photos dans des conditions qui détruiraient n'importe quel autre appareil, et en particulier de prendre des photos sous l'eau, jusqu'à une profondeur d'environ 10 mètres, donc en snorkeling, sans équipement spécial.

C'est donc un appareil "de niche", que je n'emporte personnellement qu'en vacances et lorsque je me rends à des endroits où j'ambitionne de prendre des photos sous-marines.

Et dans le cadre de cette - importante - limitation, le TG6 est tout simplement le meilleur appareil du marché... ce qui ne m'empêche pas de rêver à un TG7 qui disposerait quant à lui d'un capteur plus grand, comme un 1"...

Guerric HachéGuerric Haché: Overall this is a fantastic camera for macro photos and underwater use; I've used it while swimming in lakes and tidepooling without issue, and apart from the user problem of shaky hands making macro photos difficult to get, I've been extremely impressed by the macro mode and the built-in focus stacking and bracketing.

There are two problems I have with the camera, after using it a lot for a few months. First, it's just not at all good at long-distance photos; my Google Pixel 7 Pro takes better pictures of things at distance, such as birds. That's fine, though; it's just a limitation you should be aware of.

The second problem I have, and more substantial, is with the GPS logging. For whatever reason, I find the Olympus TG-6 doesn't geotag the photo files themselves, even with the "Record GPS Location" feature set to "on" (I know the switch on the top of the camera and the Record GPS menu option are different - I turn BOTH on when trying to get geotagging data). All the camera does is create a log of GPS locations in a .LOG file, without timestamps, and the locations appear to be very inaccurate. I turned on the GPS recording and flipped the log switch before going...

Nancy Lefebvre: I am a avid outdoors person, from hiking and kayaking to relaxing on the beach. I recently just purchased my 3rd Olympus TG camera. M6 original one does still take pictures, the only issue I had was that it came with a flip screen, it's the screen itself that no longer works. I have left the kids use that camera for years and has been dropped banged around etc and still going (minus the screen) my last one is about 8 years old and has been on many camping trips in the wilderness where it's been dropped on boulders from my life jacket pocket, once it was not locked up and battery cover opened, landing in the water. It needed to be dried out for a day sitting in sun, but still worked for years afterwards. I have bought what I reviews say where better Camra’s but this is truly a great camera for those loving the outdoors. I have used many times for taking photos under water or while swimming. The only downside I can see is that the mega pixels are not as good as others but it still takes great quality pictures.

Amazon Customer: I bought this as a new everyday-carry camera after finally getting sick of the pointless madness of smartphone cameras. It's worth it, if you ask me.

Good stuff:

- Decent picture quality in daylight, but likely outperformed by a fancy phone.
- Outstanding picture quality at night, way beyond what any phone I've seen can do.
- Decent optical zoom, though only a little bit of it.
- Easy to cram into a back pocket without worrying about damaging it. Nice build quality without being too excessively bulky.
- Starts up quickly; ready to go in about one second from pressing the power button. I really appreciate this, since one of my biggest frustrations with phone cameras is how they often take insane amounts of time just to start up.
- Takes RAW photos.
- Manual focus, which I was surprised to find because I was assured by the reviews I read that it did not have manual focus. It sure does, though, and it's surprisingly good. The super-macro setting is very impressive too.
- MicroUSB charging, which is less nice than USB-C, but much better than the terrible proprietary connector that the old models had.
- Impressive waterproofing. Unless you're a...

Alex JAlex J: The media could not be loaded.  My long story (Pros and cons are below for brevity):

I bought this camera as a birthday gift for myself in August 2019. As soon as I started using the camera, I regretted the purchase but I feel better now. I have taken about 4,500 shots (most deleted). So far, I have used the SCN, A, P, C1, C2, Underwater, Macro, and auto. In other words, I am still getting used to it and haven't taken enough photos to say if I am at a 2 or 4, so my rating is a 3.

AUTO MODE is complete and utter trash. Before Thanksgiving the options I used the most were scenery (landscape), aperture priority, and Macro. When I went to visit family for Thanksgiving, my camera setting was in macro when they decided to do a quick cousin picture. I had to be in the picture so I hurriedly turned the dial to Auto before handing it over...thinking it would work. NEGATIVE! The camera flash wasn't activated, the ISO was put to 1600 and the photo was extremely grainy. Afterward, I tried to turn the flash on and it was grayed out. I've owned about six point and shoot cameras before this one. All of them gave me the ability to turn the flash on in Auto mode. Typically I...
