I just replaced by TG-1 (which I loved) with the TG-4 and took it on a week-long snorkeling trip to Belize. I took 1200 photos and several movies, about half in JPEG only and half in JPEG + RAW. I love the ability to post-process with Raw, although I find the internal processing for the JPEG superior to my TG-1, with much less blue "tint" in the majority of my pictures even without adjustment. I LOVE THIS CAMERA!

I bought this camera for use underwater, and in conditions when I don't want to expose my Nikon D750 to heavy rain. The initial impressions are favorable. The camera is easy to use; has intuitive controls; and surprisingly good image quality. Low light performance exceeded my expectations.

The build quality is magnificent. The images are more than I could expect from a <$400 camera, and the startup time is "immediate." The camera is small and relatively light. I also bought the macro ringlight that adapts onto the front of the camera, and highly recommend it to relocate strobe along the lens axis for closeup work. Otherwise-the camera's battery level readout in operating modes seems to be very deceptive; you apparently have much less remaining than is indicated. Once you hit the last "bar" in the indicator it's very close to time to swap batteries. I bought 2 extra batteries having read of other folks objecting to this same issue, and I'm glad I did. Battery life itself-no objections. Good for most of a day at a busy venue (zoo), with GPS on. GPS acquisition is slow and not even close to being in the same league as a cel phone, in spite of the fact that it (apparently) operates on the enhanced system. I understand that a lot of data is traded during bootup, but the GPS can take a few minutes to become active, and then some more minutes (my experience) to indicate within a hundred feet or less of my actual position. The digital zoom quality-as expected-is unfortunate. The optical zoom is remarkably good, particular in a camera at this price point. Glad I bought this unit for backpacking, hiking, and general wandering around (rough service applications)-the ergonomics and menu functionalities are wonderful (and I have very large hands). Definitely worth considering.

I have owned the TG-4 about a week at this point. It seems to be a good little camera, especially the microscopic app, but I have discovered two apparent problems. First, when set to record both jpg and raw, it seems to record a separate image for both, but when downloaded into Lightroom only the raw is recognized. I wonder if there are truly two separate images or one image is processed for two purposes. When set to jpg only, all works well. Be careful, though, when exposing bright areas of the image - they seem to be easily "blown out". Second, the SD card spring mechanism which enables you to press on the card and then it "pops" out is malfunctioning. I can still extract the SD card using a too but it is time consuming to do so. Fortunately, the images can be downloaded easily using the supplied USB connecting cord so I do not have to remove the card in order to process the images on it.

Olympus Stylus Tough TG-4
The Oympus TG-4 is the first camera in the Tough line to capture RAW images. As with its predecessor the TG-3, the TG-4 is designed to function in extreme shooting conditions. It is waterproof to 50 feet, crushproof to 220 pounds, shockproof from drops of up to 7 feet, freezeproof down to 14 degrees F, and is sealed against dust. The TG-4 features a 16MP sensor that measures 6.17x4.55mm and has an ISO range of 100-6400, and a top shutter speed of 1/2000 sec. Olympus's Tough line has been a leader in compact underwater cameras for years, with both minor and major refinements added over the years. AF target selection has been refined, and a new Underwater HDR feature corrects color tones and combines multiple images for vivid images with improved highlight and shadow detail. The Olympus Stylus TG-4 includes a 25-100mm (35mm equivalent) f/2.0 internal zoom lens and macro focusing as close as half an inch away. Capture 8 images in rapid sequence while rapidly shifting focus and then merge them to produce a final image with increased depth of field. Built-in Wi-Fi allows users to share images on iOS or Android mobile devices, and GPS records location information that travels with the image. The camera also records barometric pressure, altitude, and water depth. The Olympus Stylus Tough TG-4 comes in Black and Red.
Key Features
From the Manufacturer
The Tough TG-4 is rugged enough to go anywhere, but its powerful imaging technology makes this camera the most versatile yet. Sophisticated features like RAW capture, nighttime Live Composite and the super-bright F2.0 wide-angle zoom lens create amazing images no matter how challenging the environment, while built-in Wi-Fi, fast GPS and the multifunction e.Compass help you to find, shoot and share your adventures like never before.

Rugged Technology
Whether you snorkel or surf, ride or ski, bike or hike or love to shoot outdoors, the TG-4 is up to the challenge. It's waterproof to depths of 50ft/15m and its rugged inner and outer chassis construction protects the lens assembly from force (crushproof to 220lbf/100kgf) and impact (shockproof to 7ft/2.1m). Plus, the TG-4 is freezeproof to 14deg.F/-10deg.C and dustproof, so there's never a reason to leave it at home.
