The camera tends to overexpose, so you may find yourself needing to use exposure compensation fairly often. As mentioned earlier, you can't use exposure compensation in most modes including Auto , so you'll need to P or A mode to adjust it. The camera's 4K video is fine though, again, no better than that from a smartphone. The 'movie IS' does a good job of stabilizing things, though there is a noticeable crop when it's on. Audio levels are adjustable, and a wind filter is also available.

The TG-6 can shoot silent Full HD video at fps, with even faster frame rates available if you drop the resolution. The TG-6 uses the LiB lithium-ion battery, which turns in a respectable shots per charge CIPA rated , though you'll probably do even better than that in most situations.

That's assuming you're not using the GPS, though, so a spare battery is a must if you're using it or the logging function. The camera can be charged over its USB 2. Despite all of its cool tracking features, the TG-6's wireless implementation isn't great. There's no Bluetooth, so you have to put the camera into a smartphone connection mode and then manually find the network it's created on your phone a QR code is used for initial set-up, but that's it.

Olympus's OI Share app is simple to use, though not always reliable. To get tracking data and put it on a map, you must use another app, OI Track, which downloads log files that sync with up with photos that you've already downloaded via OI Share.

The Olympus Tough TG-6 continues to be the top waterproof camera on the market. We like its ruggedness, expandability, tracking features, and Raw support. Its lens is faster at the wide-angle end than its peers, and its macro capabilities are top-notch. Battery life is very good, assuming that you're not hitting the GPS too hard.

The TG-6's main negative is pretty much the same as for any small-sensor compact camera these days: image quality just isn't that great, especially compared to best-in-class smartphones that seamlessly combine multiple images to boost image quality. Compared to its peers, we wish the TG-6 had a bit more range at its telephoto end but you are getting F2 at the wide end in exchange , and the lack of Bluetooth is disappointing.

There have been several references to smartphones throughout this review, and to be clear, the TG-6 isn't meant to replace one. Rather, it's designed to withstand exactly what you don't want happening to your smartphone: being dropped, stepped on, or dunked in water. With its combination of rock-strewn beaches, temperate rainforests and snowy mountain peaks, the park is exactly the kind of place where you want to stuff your phone in a pocket, get out the TG-6, and not worry about what it may smash into.

And being able to see where you took a photo isn't just interesting: it makes organizing photos easier, as well. Rx mk1 in a case works fine for the snorkeling and kayaking. But for the sea swimming I'd really prefer to have something that fits inside my swimsuit. A tg6 type with a 1" sensor would fill all my needs if executed as well as the Sony, in the meantime I'll be treating myself to a gopro 9 or similar as my son can borow that for surfing as well and the selfie screen on gopro 9 types works well for a lot of situations in surfing or swimming.

So,my catch all ideal would have 1" sensor, a decent zoom range similar to rx, powerfull macro, robust waterproof body, selfie screen and be slim enough to slip under my swimsuit.

The TG-6 is proving to be the worst "out of the box" camera experience I've had. The biggest problem is it consistently over-exposes images. Dialing it down to EV Shooting a hydrangea bush, cross lit, needed at least With some fiddling, I can get passible results. Out of the box, the TG-6 simply fails the "can I point, shoot, and like what I get" test.

That doesn't matter to my wife directly, right until "I want this printed, to send to my sister". The TG-6 is only somewhat better. Overall rating "nice touches but 'fail'". My TG-5 leaked last week. I always check under a bright light for lint, dust, sand and anything else around the seals to make sure nothing is in the way.

The last time I used it was just a 5 minute dip in the ocean to get a turtle swimming in less than 5' deep water. Then went back in an hour later and it wouldn't turn on.

Water damage corroded the one battery tab and it disintegrated it. But it does work with the cord. Also the zoom switch is kinda sticky now. But then the camera's physical size begins to increase I just wanted something small and easy to cary around.

Actually, after my experience, I now suggest a go-pro or an UW case for a regular camera may get one for my A I had the TG-5 and leaked.

Dive housings never leaked on me, for the Sony RX series. Without a housing in the ocean it is a bit of a crapshoot. The quality of the files did not seem so much higher than a GoPro. But GoPros have their limitation, the shutter lag for still photos, and if I try to overcome with burst, the slow write speed of raw files.

I remember the battery door seal of the TG-5 seemed pretty weak. Most of these reviews are spot on. Yes, iPhones will take better pictures BUT for those of us who scuba dive, the TG series is the ticket.

All together, this isn't cheap, but it's WAY expensive than most UW setups with this quality and a LOT less expensive than flooding your iphone in a plastic bag which you get to explain to your carrier that you had it 90 feet underwater.

Well, I have picked my TG6 now; I mostly appreciate being a "late adopter". I have used it while paragliding last week. The downside: the movie button is hidden this way. You cannot put the movie function to the main release button, so forget about video in this case.

I miss a working continuous photo mode the images limit is a poor joke. As the report says, the camera tends to overexpose, even in HDR mode. So if the mountains are exposed right, the clouds are hopelessly overloaded.

The overall image quality is inferior not only to iPhone11, but also to my old Tomtom action cam. The Olympus is rugged and has a wrist strap: these are, besides optical zoom, the only advantages vs smartphone. Nice one, especially in red, but not worth the money. Sadly there won't be a TG-7 now, so my philosophy is get a TG-6 while you can. Prices have already come down a bit. My TG-3 has been my travel camera for 6 years and it still works fine and doesn't leak but I think the upgrade is justified now.

Full marks for fun factor and the GPS tagging is way better than any of the alternative solutions. Image quality is good enough for what it is - a good photo stands on other merits anyway, at least to friends and family. If I want better IQ, I also want a viewfinder, and that's a whole different game. Olympus are pulling out of the digital camera market altogether. I suppose it is possible that Tough could become a brand in its own right but even I as a TG-fan have to admit the design has reached its limits.

A redesign would be a big investment. A TG with a 2. The smaller screen is to make place for the EVF. For audio, best if it has 2 front facing and 1 back facing cardioid Mics. And can record in MP4 and MP3. It'd be prefect. The big plus for me, and I haven't seen this mentioned yet, is that when I am using my small carry-around camera, which would be the lx Mark II when on dry land or the TG 4 or 6 when at the beach and in the water, as compared with my smartphone that undeniably takes good pictures, the camera has released me from my connections to email and social media and browsing the web, and that, to me is worth an awful lot.

It's very liberating. Plus, the ergonomics of the two cameras I just mentioned are so much more satisfying than trying to hang on to my slippery sleek phone, and by the time I unlock the thing with my PIN, the shot is often gone. Whilst I don't have this TG6, I do have a Tough and there have been a lot of comments regarding the TG6 or any tough camera compared to smartphones. The thing is, if I lose or break my camera hardly likely on abeach or up a mountain I still have my phone.

If you use a smartphone for photos and lose or break it, you're stuffed. It's sad that the TG8xx series gets scarped. It'd be great if such a device gets a 1" sensor refresh Why don't you done one of these to a surf photog, so that somebody can properly test it on the environment most people will buy this for pics on the beach, in shallow water, of fast moving kids and little fishes? I had a TG-4 and used it for surf pics. Paddle out and shoot my buddies; swim out and do the same.

For a time I even had a sort of holster rig so I could catch a wave, pull out the camera, and start shooting. It was fun but the IQ is pretty bad and it had a terrible problem with fogging up inside and out due to constant temperature changes going under water and then coming out again. Maybe they've fixed that but I doubt it. I think for pure underwater this would be fine. And maybe surf pics in warm water like the Caribbean or Hawai'i. But I just couldn't take the poor IQ.

Also the lack of an EVF was a huge handicap. So many times in bright sunlight it was just point and pray especially when the screen was fogged up.

So I sold it. IQ is still bad, but at least I know what I'm aiming at. Hadn't seen this one until now I'm still thinking on buying something to take to the beach and have decent IQ Image quality is not improved in the tg Thanks for the review, it was helpful. A waterproof case for your phone makes more sense, particularly if you are video recording. Which smartphones have an optical zoom in ? There are a few, not one of which is an iPhone as of early April Howard, please re-read my OP.

Did I say anything about an iPhone? Your reading comprehension needs a lot of work. Why, because I can't stand Apple or Mac products of any kind. I hope I answered your questions. You said "cell phone", which means smartphone, not simple cell phone, and iPhones are a big part of the smartphone market, whether you like it or not.

BTW, a good iphone housing for UW use is a couple hundred bucks. So-called because they often have just as many controls and shooting options as a DSLR. But don't hold your breath. My smartphone is in a drybag when I am kayaking, but the drybag plastic is a poor lens cover, even if it doesn't fog it will soften, distort and flare the image. I did buy a hard case for the phone with a decent optical port, but when I got it was so bulky and clunky.

Each iteration of the TG class has been really great. I have a TG-2 or 3 and a 5, the conversion lenses are perfect for the Summer time for pool or ocean or in rain or snow. Just clean the camera after each use with tap water, be sure to dry then remove card and battery. A flip or tilt screen is really not necessary with this class of camera, the idea is waterproof not water resistant even if you never submerge the TG.

Does this camera have an extended optical zoom i. The manual page 33 mentions "Digital teleconverter" but then goes on to say "Zoom in on and record the center of the frame" and "zoom crop".

Normally "digital" zoom or teleconverter means resampling. But they appear to be talking about a simple sensor crop. If so, the image pixel dimensions would be reduced. On the other hand, they may resampled the sensor-cropped image back up to 12MP. Does anyone know from experience or other reliable source which it is? I can verify on mine but does it really make much of a difference? No, I don't trust or want resampling, and that's why I want a simple sensor crop.

Thank you for taking the trouble to check. I truly wish they had just gone with simple sensor crop. Kawika Nui, you can still crop your photos on your computer or even on a smartphone after importing, so what's the deal about the "sensor crop" you would like to have? The advantage of cropping in "post pro", though, is that you can crop RAW, which, by design, won't work in the camera.

You can drop the JPEG resolution in the camera in several steps, for that matter, so the feature you wish seems to be already there. Assuming I did get you right, of course. I just wish they'd make a TG follow-on with a better sensor and correspondingly higher image quality.

I wish someone would make a camera like this with a tilt screen and a 1" 20 MP sensor. Like this in what way? Saying putting a 1" sensor in a camera like this really in a few taps on a keyboard casually brushes over a whole ton of problems in carrying it out. This obsession with the 1" sensor is a strange phenomenon and very much a Sony marketing masterpiece.

Where were all these 1" fans when Nikon needed them for their ILC? Waterproof tilt screen would be a stretch - lots to go wrong and more weight and size. If you want a 1" sensor, look at the SeaLife - but no zoom.

That would be OK if you're underwater water cooling but on land you could easily fry the camera. Finally, so far 1" sensor cameras with 20MP are very disappointing in terms of IQ. The biggest things missing from this camera are 1 full range of control for aperture or shutter speed. Nikon had a great idea there, and ruined their chances with lack of IS, among other things. I have proshotcase and only go snorkeling.

Do you want an optical zoom? If yes, then the answer is emphatically: The Olympus is vastly more practical and has better IQ. However it has a slow raw buffer, but it does have an excellent jpeg engine.

At the end of his review Jeff Kellers conclusion is "Not good for those who want smartphone IQ or better But you could use a 2x add on lens to reach that with your iPhone and keep much better IQ than the Oly. Tough cameras, Oly and other brands, show mushy details that look really bad even without enlarging, specially in foliage and other fine structures.

This 6th version is not an improvement in IQ to the previous 5th version in my opinion. Another reason to keep using you iPhone is video quality which is far superior. I understand the desire for ultimate IQ and I understand the philosophy of repurposing old items, but, there is still one thing these rugged cameras can do that cell phones can not do, especially cell phones in big bulky housings.

Rugged cameras can be operated "quickly" and "easily" with only one hand. My oldest boy, who hates to learn that his beloved smart phone has compromises built in to accomodate it's many functions, asked me why I would use such a device as an unsophisticated dumb camera. He was not amused when I beat him to the photo captured draw repeatedly even when he had his phone in hand and unlocked. For me, and everyone's needs are different, this means the difference between 'any picture' and 'no picture' while wading a trout stream, kayaking, or surf fishing.

Yeah, 'widest available'. PS to said markedroids: Feel free to 'promote' that add-on lens I had a TG , and it was awesome. I loved the fact that it could do wider shots than any other point-and-shoot I ever used.

I also liked having the tilt screen, for coposing shots when the camera was really low to the water or sand or ground or what have you. Unfortunately I went swimming with it in my pocket, and it came out and was lost. I miss it. I was hoping for a similar camera to come on the market with 4K video capability, but it's been years now, and no luck. What setting did you use for that or is there have an option of underwater mode. Please tell me. Try shooting raw, and then WB adjustment for shooting underwater of any colour is easy, and you don't have to rely on guesses by a computer.

I have a tg4, and while I can't see much different here, it remains the best underwater point and shoot camera on the market. I've only used mine a few times diving with great white sharks in cages for one but it works flawlessly and takes great pictures and video.

I never liked the dedicated cases, just don't trust them for some reason. These cameras work well for their intended purpose. I have the TG4 and wont be upgrading. I'd like to see a 1" sensor camera in this genre. As long as the camera can still be stuffed in a life jacket. There is the Sealife DC with a 31mm F1. It sounds pretty quirky though.

I'm with you on this. I've been hoping for such a camera to come on the market, and I think it would sell like hotcakes, as long as it's tough, waterproof to ft, and has a built-in flash.

If I were young again and as active as I was, this would be my system camera. I would need nothing more. Unfortunately, I'm no longer young and need big black things with big viewfinders, big LCD screens and lots of auto things. Yeah, they need to put one of those 1" sensors in a waterproof camera, like the Nikon 1 AW camera had, but in a compact with a zoom lens.

I wouldn't mind a tilt screen and GPS too. No zoom and video centric but for scuba underwater, paralenz and their new model Vaquita is a compelling device.

Also Sealife has 1" sensor underwater camera that comes with its own housing. It supports even raw but s l o w. Olympus housing seems to be more money than the camera itself.

Even water pressure, will of course evenly push the battery door closed the deeper one dives. So the seal is better deeper, within limits, provided there's no grit in the gasket. So the seal zoom and the battery door seal are the impressive seals, it's the wheels' and ports' sealing that is most impressive.

All have slower lenses than the TG 6. So "but I can do that with my smartphone", which you didn't exactly say I acknowledge, is largely a distraction. Right, if Olympus used the same sensor, same body and same processor, but put their best zoom engineers on the job of coming up with an optically better lens for this system, a future TG-7 would have much better IQ than any smartphone except the vaunted Panasonic CM1, which was discontinued years ago.

Can a smartphone be used down to 45 ft? No, the iPhone is waterproof only to 15 feet. Does the smartphone have a zoom lens? Does a smartphone have camera ergonomics? Good luck trying to manipulate the camera phone underwater with scuba gear on. For casual snorkeling you can get by with a phone. Even the lens range of the 11PRO is very limited on the long end compared to this Olympus.

I own the 2 lens version of the It has the 2 most useful focal lengths of the 11Pro IMO. Considering everything else we use our smartphones for, a lot of people wouldn't want to risk losing or breaking it. So, unless you have an extra phone dedicated for "adventure" use, a tough compact is perhaps preferable? If you use 52mm the most it could be because you could use something even longer. Are you aware that the sensor for the 52 is smaller than for the other 2? That could mean poorer IQ.

Why do people keep thinking that iPhones can represent the best in smartphones, when comparing phones vs camera??

Alexis D Nobody said iPhones were the best. Somebody mentioned iPhones so a sub conversation ensued about it. That happens all the time in various forums. That said I recently read some reviews about smartphone cameras which rated the iPhone camera highly so maybe you underestimate it. Alexis D, it's pretty ridiculous of you to call anyone else's comments ridiculous without actually doing the research yourself on which phone camera is objectively "best".

Personally I mentioned iPhone because it's what I use. If there is an Android phone out there with a slightly better camera, I don't care, it may as well not even exist as far as I'm concerned, because I'm not switching to that platform. I used to be an anti-Apple snob.

I regarded Apple computers as computers for dummies. To make a long story short, their Trojan Horse attack on Windows users otherwise known as iTunes worked on me back when it came out. I now use an iMac at home and a PC at work, for about 14 years now.

Apple computers simply put Windows computers to shame. They rarely crash, they're more logical, and stuff just works.

This is one of the most important instruments in my TR. Timely and responsive data…makes the difference between guesswork and really understanding what is going on in my engines. I also use the fuel flow function…and it would be very nice if the GPH screen could be the default screen somehow, as that is what I live by.
