I think the only weak link is the cover for the battery and SD card. It seems a little wonky for an expensive camera. I hope the model that just came out solves that problem.


Crewber,

Thanks for your input. I went on the cruise last spring and used the TG-6 on my snorkeling and kayaking excursions. I followed the instructions on Cleaning and Storing the Camera after each use. So far, no issues. I'm very happy with the camera, but I need more practice.

Thanks again, Lou

I enjoyed seeing your bear series. Great job. The eagle is especially nice.

Great camera. Ive used it in a pool with no problem. The locking mechanism for the SD card and battery is a little wonky but it works well.


Thanks for the input. I noticed that the locking mechanism works a little hard too. Thank you, Lou

I'm the author of "The Compleat Olympus TOUGH TG-4 & TG-850 Cameras" (Amazon, 2015). In roughly six months of use, I never had a problem with the TG-4, and everything I've seen since then indicates that the TG-6 is unlikely to present problems with its seals and weatherproofing. It's merely a problem of how deep the cameras can go without the seals breaking down. As I remember, the conservative answer is "about 50 feet." I also recommend the TOUGH cameras as ideal for elementary schoolers and some in preschool. These cameras border on indestructible, and the photos in the book demonstrate their quality.

Thank you for that feedback. Glad to know that the seals and weatherproofing work. Thanks again, Lou

You will have no issues. I have had mine down to 90 feet w/o the housing. The camera will flash a warning on the rear screen that you have exceeded it’s depth limitation.


Thank you, good to know.
Thanks, Lou

I am sure there have been leaks and damage from improper use and improper care. I have heard of extremely few leakage problems otherwise (I heard of one; I still question about its care).There will always be a camera or two out of a 100,000 or more that will fail (and not just the TG-6). That is why we pay the "extra" money for the US warranty rather than buy gray market.

Since 1975, I have owned Olympus, Hasselblad, and Canon. I had my first warranty failure last year when my newest lens, after about ten months of use, would not communicate with my camera bodies. Sent back for warranty repair and now back on camera and working. I guess there is a chance that there could be a failure again in the next 50 years. As long as it occurs close to the end of the next 50 years, I will not care much - I'll be dead by then.

As long as you take proper care of the TG-6, you should have no failures.

Thanks, that's good to know. I take good care of my equipment and plan to do the same with the TG-6. Thanks for the feedback, Lou.

I have used a TG-1 since it came out. I have snorkeled with it many times,gone into the pool many times and have never had a problem with it. I very much like the color rendering of Olympus. A reminder to set the mode when snorkeling. The filter will be of great help with the colors under water. My only complaint with it is that in bright sunlight it is near impossible to see the viewing screen and many time I was guessing, not composing.

Have a great trip.


Thanks for the reassurance and tips. Thank you, Lou

Thank you to those who responded and to those who suffered through my poorly written question and replies. I do apologize for not taking the time to proofread before hitting the send button. I made a lot of mistakes in my rush to post the question and to answer everyone who responded. It doesn't pay to rush. I'm getting ready to go on a cruise and plan on using the Tough TG-6 on my excursions. I'm signed up for snorkeling and a Sea Trek Helmet Dive. If I decide to use the camera underwater, I'll post a few pictures. Thanks again everyone, Lou.

I think it's good underwater to a specific depth. I have one for kayaking g in Salt water and no issues


Thank you for responding. Sounds like I'll be ok using it under water, especially since I will only be under water a few feet. Most the time I'll be using it on my kayak. Thanks again, Lou

I have a TG-5 and use it primarily as a bad weather or salt water boating camera. I've not yet fully submersed it.

The TG-6 is "Waterproof to 15m (45ft), shockproof from 2.1m (7ft), crushproof to 100kgf (220lbf), freezeproof to -10°C (14°F), dustproof"

The Olympus PT-059 underwater housing, made exclusively for the TG-6, can withstand pressure to a water depth of 45 m (150ft).

How deep is your pool and how deep do you snorkel? Be sure to read the instructions that explain the gaskets and how the water sealing works.

Thank you. The only reason I considered buying the PT-059 underwater housing was for extra protection. I'm not a diver and will only be going very deep. I do plan on using a lot on my kayak. Thanks for your input, Lou
