I am in the market for an Olympus TG6. If you have one gathering dust and want to part with it please contact me.

Best regards,

I have one...But you can't have it!! It's a great camera and I love mine! The TG-5 is a little older model and can be had for a lot less money if you are looking for a deal. And you might be able to find a new one still. The -6 has a few more features, but the -5 is still a really nice camera!

The Olympus web site periodically has refurbs for a bit off regular retail and with a warranty. That's where I got my TG6. And no, it's not for sale either. ;-)

eBay has some used in good condition starting at $170 and all the way up to new ones for about $385

Good luck in your search Rick.

I work in a correctional facility and we use a lot of Olympus cameras, both TG-5 and TG-6 for recording escorts and such and they get treated horribly but still keep on ticking.

The weak link seems to be the data port but then these things are being handle by people who A) aren't photographers, and B) don't take care of things like they would if they owned it.

The 6's take very good pics for a p & s and the video isn't shabby either. Oh yeah, the macro function bears some investigation as well.

Don't ask, I was supposed to be working.

I love my TG6. Great for kayaking or boating. Also taking photos in the rain
