Olympus TG-810 Review

The Tough TG-810 lives up to its name, being built like a tank, and performs well for everyday shooting. But it's clunky navigation, somewhat slow shutter response, and middling image quality in low light don't make it good fit if you don't absolutely...

Rugged body can withstand drops up to 6.6 feet, and can handle 220 lbs. of pressure ; 5x wide-angle (28mm-140mm) optical zoom ; Waterproof to 33 feet ; Sensor-shift anti-shake ; High light sensitivity to ISO 1600 ; Dedicated video button ; Shoots...

Tiny controls can be difficult to use ; Thick body feels cumbersome in a pocket ; Photos taken in low light can look noisy ; Easy to turn on camera by accident ; GPS drains battery quickly

Olympus Tough TG-810

A beautiful design with impressive features, but image quality is sub-par. We suspended our review as a result, and do not recommend the TG-810. Olympus Tough TG-810 Overview Posted: 01/05/2011 Reviewed: 11/15/2011

Better in most ways than other recent Olympus Tough cameras, the TG-1 features a strong, ergonomic physical design and impressive speed. The Olympus TG-1 boasts a fast maximum-aperture f/2.0 lens, and the images we took with it demonstrated strong...

Olympus TG-810 review: Extremely tough, but with middling image quality and a difficult interface

Very sturdy ; High quality LCD screen

Images are over-processed ; Video quality is mediocre ; Buttons and joystick are hard to use

The Olympus Tough TG-810 is a camera that can operate in the toughest environments. Operating it is another question, though - the buttons take some getting used to. The image and video quality from the TG-810 is only average for a compact camera,...

Olympus Tough TG-810

Tough as old bricks. Good screen. Decent image quality for a tough camera at low ISO levels.

GPS takes a long time to get a signal. Video quality is pretty poor. Joystick can be fiddly.

Tough as old boots and about as heavy to match, the TG-810 is packed to the brim with features to complement its waterproof credentials. Just don't expect the GPS to work as promised.

Olympus TG 810 Digital Camera Review

The review of Olympus TG 810 Digital Camera suggests that this is the toughest camera in the Olympus tough series. Though being tough doesn't deter its functionality...it is very easy to use! Its Intelligent Auto Mode enables ease of utility.

The features of Olympus TG 810 Digital Cameras suggest that it is tough as a brick camera that captures amazing results and has excellent screen . However it does come with its sad moments: ; • GPS in the phone is not very effective ; • Offers poor...

Though its toughness is unmatched, and its performance is good, and it also has excellent water proof features, However if one can live without good GPS facility and average battery life then this camera is worth a bargain!
