Review: So happy with this buy! - I've had this camera for a year and a half now and it's been the best camera ever! Olympus makes great quality cameras, long lasting and for a very fair price. I'ved used it for camping expeditions, taking pictures in the sea, touring in the city, I even used it for my last job where I had to do environmental inspections. I have dropped it about three times on hard floor and nothing happens to it, one time that it dropped on hard asphalt, everyone was shocked that it was still working and nothing had cracked! I obviously had a mini-heart attack but just made this buy even better! I also got the Olympus floating thingy that you can leash to the camera so it won't sink in the water, really handy! You can just throw it around in the water so other people can shoot and play around with it. Picture quality is great! I am no professional photographer but I am incredibly satisfied with all the pictures I have with this camera, perfect for remembering the good times. Battery is very very, VERY long lasting. You can take the camera out to a three day trip to casually take pictures and you will still have charge left. Unless you intensely shoot videos and look through your pictures every time you take one, then you will need to carry the charger. It's too bad it doesn't have bluetooth or other wireless functions, but I really have no problem in plugging it in the laptop to get my pictures, it's just as fast and I'm not a social-media fanatic. The new TG-860 does come with wireless connection to send pictures to your phone so that is definitely a plus, too bad this camera will last me for a lot more years though! =)
Review: great waterproof camera at a reasonable price - While this is a bit dated model, it still is tough, great picture quality, compact and very easy to use. Nice features for underwater shots and love the dog/cat recognition setting too. Many different type scene modes and has panoramic mode as well. Also shoots high quality video too with options for getting single shots within a video clip. Many features of more complex and expensive camera. Great olympus quality. I took a chance and bought this camera used but have not been sorry with my purchase.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can some people check their video when it records and tries to auto-focus? I am hearing a hammering sound. Curious if it's a bad batch.**
A: I hear a hammering sound when I record video as well...that's a real drag because the video itself looks great. What have people done about this?

**Q: i am going on a cruise in february to the bahamas. and, because i plan on going snorkeling, i want to buy an underwater camera but dont want to spend a rediculous amount of money. i plan to mostly take pictures both above ground and underwater, and maybe a video or two. the video sound quality isnt terribly imporant to…**
A: Kim, the short answer is yes. This is a great waterproof camera and truly unbeatable at its price point. I do not think you will be disappointed with it.

**Q: How good is the battery life? On average, how long does it last or how many pictures per battery life?**
A: I found battery life to be comparably short but my unit stopped charging the battery and then stopped powering on after three days of use.  I'm not the best judge most likely.

**Q: Is the TG-830 or the TG-820 better? I wanted the 820, and my parents bought me the 830 because they figured the never version would be the best. It malfunctioned a little and I just wanted to be sure this was the better camera in case I need to exchange it.**
A: I was told by my vendor that the new model TG-830 has the GPS function which I love.  The resolution is higher and is HD for the recording.  You can do the comparison on both features.  When I purchased mine the newer model cost about $100.00 more and now is about the same price.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Works
*by K***0 on February 14, 2014*

This camera works as a good point and shoot and is fairly intuitive. It takes pretty good photos for a point and shoot and has some cute features. However there are two things which keep it from being a great product , 1) the clicking in the background of the video, and 2) it does not shoot raw. The clicking has ruined some video I had planned to use as part of a presentation, and the absences of raw means that you can't really blow up portions of the photographs. However it did get rained on and submerged in the ocean and it still works so that is a plus.
