Olympus Tough TG-310

The rugged Olympus Tough TG-310 doesn't offer the zoom range of more expensive models, but its image quality is on par with competing cameras, and it comes at an attractive $200 price.

Modest price for a rugged camera. Waterproof to 10 feet, shockproof to 5 feet, freezeproof to 14°F; Good low-light performance.

Cannot zoom while recording video. No separate battery charger.

Speed and Image Performance, Conclusions It’s not the speediest camera in the world, but the TG-310 performs well for its class. The camera starts up and captures an image in about 2.2 seconds, requires you to wait about 2.1 seconds between shots, and...

Olympus TOUGH TG-310 review: An affordable waterproof, drop-proof, dust-proof and freeze-proof compact camera

Rugged ; Nice art filters ; Affordable

Not scratch-resistant ; Image definition isn't great ; Menu could be better

The Olympus TOUGH TG-310 has good rugged features and decent ease of use. We like its art filters and the overall image quality is good, but don't expect images to be super-well-defined.
