Review: High quality compact utility camera - For a compact camera I was hoping for good photos, but wasn’t expecting great quality. I was very surprised! This camera is great! It can be a simple point-and-shoot camera, but with some practice, and taking the time to use the various settings, this camera gives excellent results. While kayaking on a river, I wanted to test the underwater feature. I just adjusted the setting, stuck the camera onto the water, and snapped 3 photos. When I saw the results, I was so surprised at the color correction and the high clarity. Every pebble and piece of moss was crystal clear. The water was about 15’ deep. For photo transfer I use the Olympus app. Uploading photos to my iPhone X are a snap. When comparing photos between the TG-6 and my iPhone, the TG-6 is the winner, hands down. I’ve been in photography for 40 years, and have used 35mm, 120mm, and 4x5 film cameras. This little camera wouldn’t beat my old 4x5, but comes close to the other cameras I’ve used. I can’t wait to go snorkeling and really test out the underwater features. I highly recommend getting the lens cap to save the lens from scratches. Always there and easy to use. For a high quality handy travel camera that really delivers, I highly recommend the TG-6. Being a good water proof camera is a huge plus.
Review: GREAT Camera! Highly recommended!! - This is such a versatile camera. I use it underwater mostly but it is great for topside photography also. I actually had my housing flood at 60 feet, but because the camera is allegedly waterproof to 50 feet, the camera was not damaged. Having said that, even though the camera is advertised as waterproof to 50 feet, I would not trust taking it underwater without the housing. I believe the water pressure without the housing might, indeed, cause a leak in the camera itself. I'm not willing to take that chance. But I feel comfortable that any time my housing floods, my camera is still safe. I have gotten some great images with this little camera and would highly recommend it for novices and experienced photographers alike.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference between the tg5 and the tg6?  the specs are virtually identical.**
A: There are some noteworthy improvements.  Chromatic aberration is reduced, the purple orb issue has been reduced, you can now shoot microscope videos and you can use aperture mode with microscope mode.  The TG-6 images are also a bit darker and less likely to be over-exposed.  I think there is an improvement in image quality.   The TG-6 is also a bit more rugged (thicker lcd, better for reduction, etc).  The biggest improvement is in the lcd screen.

**Q: Does this camera come with a lens cover?**
A: No. In spite of this, I have never smudged the lens. It is recessed enough that even when doing VERY close-up macro shot, the lens stays clean.
If you are going to chuck the camera into a (filthy) jacket pocket, then something like the Olympus Lens Barrier LB-T01 would be for you.
I have used the Olympus CLA-T01 Conversion Lens Adapter which comes with the traditional clamp-on lens cover. It usually stays in-place. For real dirty and dusty locations, I use a screw-on UV filter to keep the optics from getting scratched by wind-driven grit.

I hope this helps.

**Q: I bought a fuji xp, highly rated as well, but was disappointed with the overall quality, underwater looked flat.  should i expect better from this?**
A: That depends. Your shots may not get better with better specs. I shoot with a fujifilm xp also. I too, get varied results. For that reason I am always looking for an UW camera with better images/specs. That said, I got the XP 130 from Costco on discount for $140. It is hard to beat that. OK, now a few things you need to know about all UW photography. 1) if it is far away or looks small in the viewfinder, you are making a record of what you saw, you are not going to get a good image. ie. avoid using zoom, get as close as you can first. 2) if you go more than about 10 feet deep, you will need to adjust the color. 3) photography relies on light. You will need an extra need a light or flash to take the better images. 4) compare apples to apples. This camera will be very unlikely to create an image as good as those super-scuba-camera-rigs. 5) situational awareness is your best friend. If you see a shot developing, go to where the shot will most likely be. I got a shot of an octopus swimming by a frogfish with this technique. 6) if you have trouble with still images, shoot a ton of video first to see where the good shots are. Try to always have fun in the water first, then take your photos.

**Q: what is the lens (mm) for UV filter**
A: I use 40.5mm Hoya filters on my TG-6 and TG-5.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best camera under $2000, best rugged camera, best point and shoot
*by N***Y on April 22, 2021*

Here's a couple of photos I took on the first day without changing any settings. One is normal, one is with an added filter from an app. This is much better than the phone I've been using. I have a Goppro 8 black and this Tg-6 is better in every regard except it's not quite as good with antishake and the focus makes a little whiring noise thats audible in playback. The video is much better than some footage I've seen on youtube, so it's going to depend a lot on the settings, the camera person and the postprocessing. I bought this for photos. As far as picture quality, it seems to be as good or better than most phones, right out of the box. I feel like it keeps up with most cameras of higher cost and is superior to anything else at this price point. I'm very new to photography, but was getting some good night shots so far. It's actually better than I thought it would be with those indoors shots under incandescent, fluorescent and LED lighting. I'll be using it for landscapes, nature and taking photos in cities and towns. The photo quality is excellent in my opinion and it works great without being to imposing or cluttered. It turns on in maybe two seconds, so I can stop the bike, be sure of a great picture and be moving again, making great time. Some days I get rained on really good and this camera is a perfect addition to my contingency gear. It should also do well in the colder conditions. It feels durable and I'm sure it will do well if I drop it or if it gets crushed around in my baggage on a tough day. I did buy the jj brand lens cap and a glass screen protector to keep from scratching those parts, but thats just extra and not totally necessary. I also picked up the led diffuser accessory for macro photography. Results on a $20 bill are pictured, here. Works perfectly...well worth the extra 35.00 or so, considering the possibilities it unlocks. I'll probably pick up the flash dispersing accessory also, after seeing this work as well as it does. All these things considered, and with hands on, out of the box use, I'll be confident to invest my hard earned dollars in the teleconverter, wide angle and fisheye lenses and maybe even down the line, the deep water case if the opportunity to go diving presents itself. The camera works great with or without them. The firmware on the camera takes a day to learn, with all the little extras embedded in there, but after that navigation is relatively easy. Even though it is I think classified a "point and shoot" everything is customizable- and even more so, once you know a couple of tricks that are mentioned online in various places. Most anybody however, can simply pick this up, click it on auto mode and get great pictures without confusion. The app (I got for my android) was very easy to connect with. The camera puts out the wifi signal and the phone connects to that, so it can be done without an actual internet connection. Photos import within a few seconds each and can be edited in any other app from there. I take a 4:3 ratio pictures and after importing, crop it to whatever size from there. I'd love to speak on GPS and the Windows Olympus software, but have not gotten that far just yet. From what I've seen, and if you don't know yet, this goes pretty deep with what information you can attach to the photos and video. Pretty sure that if I decided to go that route, I'd be able to automatically have photos all on a map of where they were captured. Geotagging is still a subject of contention these days, though. But it's there if needed along with barometric pressure (manometer), compass and altitude (altimeter?). Can also add a little audio voice note to individual photos as well. It's possible to convert the proprietary file format of the RAW photos to be able to edit on other software if necessary. Only thing left is maybe some filters and a lens hood for extra usefulness, a floating wrist strap for beach and stream excursions, and a respectable case and bag. Those are all extras but now that I know I will be enjoying this camera for many years to come I'm sure it's worth it.
