Olympus Tough TG-320

The waterproof Olympus Tough TG-320 isn't as rugged as some of its competitors, and photos taken at higher ISOs lack fine detail. At less than $200, the affordability factor makes it appealing, but you can do better at the same price point.

Not as rugged as competitors. Limited zoom range. Overzealous noise reduction.

Performance and Conclusions The TG-320 lags behind the competition in terms of speed. It takes a full 2.2 seconds to start up and shoot, makes you wait 1.8 seconds between photos, and notches a 0.6-second shutter lag. The Canon PowerShot D20 ($349.99,...
