4 out of 5 stars   Everything as expected
By N on August 21, 2014
Review submitted for Olympus TG-830 iHS STYLUS Tough 16 MP 1080p HD Digital Camera Red 16GB Kit (E2OMTG830R)
Pros: Has a mode dial, macro mode, good zoom. Can take a still picture while taking a movie.
Cons: A bit heavy
Other Comments: Having to charge the camera with the battery in is a bit of a pain, I may get an external charger. Battery life seems excellent. I got this camera because it has the mode dial, no need to use the menu except for scene changes. This is my 2nd waterproof camera and I'm happy with it so far.

3 out of 5 stars   tg-830
By chuckpowers13 on July 10, 2014
Review submitted for Olympus TG-830 iHS STYLUS Tough 16 MP 1080p HD Digital Camera Red 16GB Kit (E2OMTG830R)
Pros: It will probably do a decent job after I get used to it. seems to have good battery life on a full charge. large screen is good.
Cons: Used the camera with the underwater housing for dive trip, took approx. 100 photos which were lost due to failing to "format" the supplied memory card to the camera as outlined in the middle of an instruction cd, which I missed. This information should have been included on the hard copy of instructions and highlighted! A hard copy instruction booklet with pertinent information would probably eliminate this type of issues.
Other Comments: Took the camera to a real camera shop, got a new memory card installed and properly set up. hopefully this will work for future dive trips, since the housing was more expensive than the camera, and I am married to it for now.

5 out of 5 stars   Great little camera
By T on June 28, 2014
Review submitted for Olympus TG-830 iHS STYLUS Tough 16 MP 1080p HD Digital Camera Red 16GB Kit (E2OMTG830R)
Pros: great scene modes; still evaluating but seems to outperform other cameras I have; so far, underwater mode is working without any gliches; recently went to a Jamaican resort & saw many of these cameras; even if not used underwater, it's nice knowing that if it gets wet, it won't be ruined
Cons: it's a bit heavy; wish it came with just a regular neck strap;

4 out of 5 stars   Perfrect Camera for us
By LisaC on May 27, 2014
Review submitted for Olympus TG-830 iHS STYLUS Tough 16 MP 1080p HD Digital Camera Red 16GB Kit (E2OMTG830R)
Pros: We needed a heavy duty camera for the different activities we do. This one fits the bill. The pictures are great, the use of the camera is not overly difficult. We have only used it a few times & have not used all the functions so it's hard to fully rate it.
Cons: I agree with other posts, the strap should be on the back of the camera.

4 out of 5 stars   Very Nice Waterproof Camera
By Uncle Gare on August 13, 2013
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Olympus TG-830 iHS STYLUS Tough 16 MP 1080p HD Digital Camera - Black (OMTG830K)
Pros: Fast, Good Value
Cons:
Other Comments: I've owned several waterproof cameras (Oly, Sony, & Panny)over the years and this one is definitely the best I've had to date. It is quite fast (shot to shot and burst recovery) for a point and shoot with very little lag. This was important for me, because I wanted to be able to capture action shots when playing in the water with family/friends. The picture and video quality are noticeably improved over prior models and very respectable in good light. It's already been "swimming" three times since I purchased it and has held up well so far. I would highly recommend this camera for anyone looking for a good quality waterproof camera. Service from Beach Camera was impeccable as always!

5 out of 5 stars   Fantastic Rugged Point-and-Shoot Camera
By Vinny the Worm on August 01, 2013
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Olympus TG-830 iHS STYLUS Tough 16 MP 1080p HD Digital Camera - Black (OMTG830K)
Pros: Picture Quality
Cons: Strap Guide Location
Other Comments: I will be using this product for fishing trips primarily, and for wildlife and landscape pictures and vacations. I can tell you that the low light and outside photos thus far are fantastic quality. Really surprised me in this aspect as I had read reviews stating low light photos were not great. I am not a pro photo guy, much more of the point and shoot type, but i know quality. This camera should be perfect for vacations and convenient carrying on my fishing vest. The strap buckle is on the front of the camera and a tad bulky, but I am only quibbling here. A tremendous camera with unbelievable pictures for the price. Very happy I have this camera.

Pros: Easy to carry, Rapid Fire Option, Really waterproof, Sturdy
Cons:
Other Comments: The low-battery indicator comes on WAY before the battery is really depleted. I've taken as many as 120 additional, full pixal, pics after it is indicated that I need to change the battery.

5 out of 5 stars   Great Camera For The Money
By enesengr on June 09, 2013
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Olympus TG-830 iHS STYLUS Tough 16 MP 1080p HD Digital Camera - Blue (OMTG830L)
Pros: Ease of Use, Picture Quality, Product Versatility
Cons:
Other Comments: I've had this camera about three weeks now, and so far I have used it underwater, in the rain, indoors and outdoors, and it has performed flawlessly. I wanted a camera with point and shoot capabilities that would react quickly to changing conditions (so my wife could use it as well), but I also wanted to be able to control the exposure parameters manually if I needed to. This camera does it all! When set to "iAuto", it automatically senses the lighting conditions (indoors, full daylight, cloudy, underwater, nighttime, etc.) and selects the appropriate setting. Or, you can select the different settings manually (underwater, for example). It also has a setting that allows you to set the aperture and exposure times yourself, and another setting giving you Photoshop capabilities. One feature which I have found to be surprisingly useful is the Panorama setting, which allows you to take wide panoramic views by slowly panning the camera from left to right. When viewed later, it gives the sensation of being at that spot and being able to look around you. Quite frankly, I haven't found anything about this camera that is annoying. My photos thus far have turned out beautifully. All in all, it has performed beyond my expectations, and short of being able to change lenses on it (which would put it in a higher price range), I can't think of anything I would do to improve it.

5 out of 5 stars   A Great Camera
By Dee on June 01, 2013
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Olympus TG-830 iHS STYLUS Tough 16 MP 1080p HD Digital Camera Blue 8GB Kit (E1OMTG830L)
Pros: water proof shock proof, Magical, Great Pictures, Easy to use
Cons: none at this time
Other Comments: I just cannot believe how much this camera can do, or does! It is just phenomenal! Plus the set up was quite easy compared to some others I have had. After I had done the set up and started to go through the different options available on the camera I was totally blown away by all of its capabilities. Never have I had a camera that included all of the "magic" settings along with all of the "SCN" settings too! not to mention the others as well as having GPS also, this camera is just too good to be true! I have had nothing but fun so far in trying to get used to my "New" camera. I was given this camera as a gift for my birthday and couldn't be happier.
