LIFEPROOF

WATERPROOF TO 33FT.

The TG-820 iHS crushes the notion that cameras are easily damaged by water and humidity. The Olympus-original complete sealing system and double lock construction borrowed from Olympus’ long history of manufacturing underwater housings ensures that the TG-820 iHS is completely waterproof down to a new depth of 33ft. Even on land, the TG-820 iHS ensures that you’ll never miss an awesome shot just because of heavy rain or snow.

SHOCKPROOF TO 6.6FT.

The shockproof structure of the TG-820 iHS ensures that your investment is protected. Carefully sandwiched between two protective frames, the lens and camera unit remain unfazed by bumps, drops, falls and other impacts. Even after repeated drops, critical camera components and functions like the lens, shutter, aperture and auto-focus remain safe. Drop, pick up, and keep on shooting.

CRUSHPROOF TO 220LBF.

The TG-820 iHS uses a double-layer construction, consisting of a tough yet lightweight polycarbonate resin and a metal frame. The crushproof construction ensures that your camera – and screen! – won’t break, even under 220lbs of pressure. No more cracked screens because you’ve left your camera in your back pocket or suitcase.

FREEZEPROOF TO 14°F

Keep shooting outdoors even in the winter. The TG-820 iHS is designed to keep operating at below freezing temperatures, safe from the two most common problems when shooting in cold weather: lens condensation and auto zoom malfunction. Hit the slopes, fire up your snowmobile, or break out the skates, because with the TG-820 iHS by your side, you’ll never miss those awesome wipe out moments.

DUSTPROOF

Life gets dirty. Between dusty fields and muddy trails, sometimes your camera doesn’t stay as pristine as you’d like it to. But even in less-than-spotless environments, the fine protective sealing of the TG-820 iHS helps keep out dirt and debris allowing you to capture shot after shot even in the harshest environments.

A simple one-touch button allows you to record videos with amazing clarity in high-definition, right from your camera. HDMI output and control makes playing back videos on your HDTV a breeze.

Really great camera!!!!!!

I took a long time researching a waterproof camera.
After reading many reviews the Olympus TG-820 seemed like a good buy. I used it on a small island vacation and was very happy with my purchase.

I would definately recommend it to anyone.

A Fine All-Weather Camera with One Caveat

This camera is a replacement for the TG-610, which was pickpocketed on a trip. I liked that camera. But the TG-820 is even better. HD video and much better performance in low light and indoor situations, even without flash. I waited until I had put it through the ringer before writing this review. I have now used it while kayaking in the rain around icebergs and glaciers in Alaska and snorkeling in Hawaii. The picture quality has generally been excellent. The camera performed flawlessly under water during extended snorkeling trips. My caveat is that the lens fogged up on the inside one day while kayaking in Alaska, resulting in some missed shots of humpback whales. The snorkeling came after that. As there were no issues during snorkeling, I'm thinking it had something to do with the temperature in Alaska and not a failure of the water proof feature. Assuming the fogged lens does not become a recurring issue, I would highly recommend this camera for a very wide range of picture-taking situations. There is really very little sacrifice in image quality for the waterproof and other "tough" features.

Better than expected

Our last cam. was ruined by dust that worked its way into the lenz that had to come out and in every time you used it! I just got back from a mission trip, was not only able to take GREAT pictures(some underwater!) and vidio but the battery lasts a long time! There is truly not enough room for me say how pleased I am with this camera! Great Job & Thanks!!! B.H.

Beach Grandma

I got the camera 2 days before taking my grandchildren to the beach for a week. Eventhough we used the wrong settings some of the time, we got great pictures. The grandkids loved taking pictures underwater and having the freedom to use the camera where ever they wanted! It took a lot of abuse its first week and came through great.

Great camera

This is a great camera the only problem is for people with large hands, you sometimes hit 2 or more buttons when trying to operate. Otherwise
it is easy to use and takes a great picture.

Great pictures for a waterproof camera!

I went to Belize and i bought this camera just for this and everyone wanted to borrow it --instead of using their own--because it had such great quality!
I would definintly recomend this camera!

Love My Olympus Tough

I love this camera, not only because of the incredibly great pictures it takes underwater, but also the pictures it takes for all occasions. I used it on the Fourth of July for the fireworks on the firework setting and the pictures were incredible. You will not be disappointed if you purchase this camera. I don't know why I waited so long.

Love it!

This is my second Olympus tough camera. First one was several years old and had gotten quite a bit slower. I loved it too. The only complaint about this one is the OK button that you use to select options and delete pics and such is a bit difficult to use. Sometimes I have to press it twice, other times it gets ahead of me. So far that is the only problem I've had. It takes really great pics and I love the magic settings. I've only had it about 2 weeks and I've used it in the pool several times. Great camera!
