I bought one a while back. Before I had a chance to take a single photo with it I slipped on some rocks and slammed the display down on the ground with my full weight on top of it. Apart from a small scratch which is barely noticeable the camera is still in perfect condition, so it is definitely extremely tough.

I personally am not that impressed by the autofocus though, and my earlier Toughs all seem to have performed better in that regard.

Thank you so much for the good explanations in your video. Just ordered this over here in Norway today and am excited to try it out with children in the swimmingpool.

The only thing I don't like about it is it only has a 4 second slow shutter speed instead of 15 or 30 seconds as other similar camera have got.

I am tempted by the macro mode of this camera but how is the camera compared to mobile phones ?
Especially day time photo shoot.

Not so tough. I dropped mine from about 20 inches and the zoom feature broke.

Maybe I was doing something wrong but I found the image quality to be horrendous, I wanted to use it as a travel camera and hikes but sadly I had to return as the image quality I believe was worse than my 3 year old mobile phone. Having many features is great but if the image quality is not there then all those features mean nothing

Hey! I have an iPhone 14 Pro, and was wondering how this compares?

I like going on hikes a lot, and go fishing often, and want something that’s more durable and less detrimental than my iPhone. That being said, if it shoots pictures at the same/worse quality, I’m not sure it makes sense for me.

Thank you’

Pentax/ Ricoh have a new “ tough camera” too. WG 7. Virtually the same specs, sensor is larger. Not available in the USA as far as I know, yet.

Hi! I have an R6 and an Rp, but I wanna buy this camera for the size. I wanna use it for hiking, street, travel photos(I don t want to carry my full frame gear everyday). What do you think about it? I don t find any raw of it. I wanna saw some result. It can be used for everyday?

Do you know why it went from 16mp to 12 from older models, I had the tg3 thinking to get this one since mine crashed.

[Rakhali]

Does this camera have the filters from the older models ? Such as dramatic mode etc. ?

Thanks for the honest review. The images it produces look terrible 😂

[turbojobo]

Do you know any other compact cameras with usb c charging?
