Olympus Stylus Tough TG-870 review

 

From oceans to rocky trails, Olympus' TG-870 survives in elements where most cameras won't dare venture.

The Olympus Stylus Tough TG-870 is a very good rugged camera that takes fine stills and can take a beating. Despite the small sensor, the camera is capable of taking sharp, nice-looking photos in most well lit situations. There were some issues with...

Olympus TG-870

 

The TG-870 offers adventurous sports photographers a lot of features in a compact, rugged package; although burst shooting at full resolution could be better. Low-light performance also could be better. Read more in our Full Conclusion.

High image quality in bright light ; Lots of effects and filters ; Two programmable buttons ; LCD hinges 180 degrees ; 921k-dot LCD resolution ; Good battery life in testing ; Wi-Fi ; GPS ; Two tripod mounts

Burst shooting at 16M is limited ; 5x zoom is modest ; Built-in flash is weak ; Low-light performance is mediocre ; Lens distorts near edges at wide angle ; Does not offer RAW mode ; In-camera editing is basic

Olympus TG-870 Review

 

A relatively minor refresh of last year's TG-860 model, the Olympus Stylus Tough TG-870 is quite similar to its predecessor, yet it offers some useful upgrades and enhancements, as well as some cosmetic changes.

Priced at about US$280, which is the same list price as its predecessor at introduction, the Olympus TG-870 is set to ship from April 2016. Color schemes available will be Gunmetal Metallic, Metallic Green or Pure White instead of orange, black or white.

Olympus Stylus TG-870 Review

 

The Olympus Stylus TG-870 takes great underwater pictures. This camera can handle drops, low temperatures, dirt and water pressure down to 50 feet. A few other cameras take better dry-land pictures than this camera, but if you're looking for adventure...

This camera takes outstanding underwater photos.

Dry-land photos can turn out a bit grainy.

This camera can endure the elements and takes great underwater photos.
