This camera takes better underwater pictures than any other camera we reviewed
A handful of other cameras took better dry-land pictures
The Olympus TG-4 is an impressive underwater camera. It is the best underwater camera in terms of underwater picture quality, though a couple other cameras in our lineup fared better in our dry-land testing scenario. The device feels sturdy with a metal c...
As long as you have some patience, then using the Olympus Tough TG-3 is a delight. It's responsive, versatile and durable. We took it to many events from gigs to days out at the beach and it coped with all of them. The patience comes with the frustration...
Performance; Creative features; Build quality; Menu interfact; Continuous shooting at up to 5fps; Fast startup time; Battery life
Price; Expensive addon lenses; Some controls can be fiddly in difficult conditions
The TG-3 tries to do things a little differently, and it does have some very good qualities. Its performance is excellent, it has a good range of features and the menu system is very nice.Even the f/2.0 lens and aperture priority mode are welcome addit...

Wide aperture f/2 lens. Microscope macro mode. Waterproof to 50 feet. Very quick focus. 5fps burst shooting. Accepts filters and lens accessories. Macro LED light. GPS and Wi-Fi.
Images on the noisy side. In-camera battery charging. Zoom and focus are audible on video soundtrack
The Olympus Tough TG-3 is a worthy successor to the TG-2. Despite some image noise, it's still the best rugged camera we've tested....
Abstract: Summer is upon us again (at least for those in the Northern Hemisphere), and many people will be taking advantage of the nice weather by heading to the beach or mountains. While a 'regular' camera can take most of the photos on your trip, it won't survive...
Waterproof to 50 feet, Freezeproof, and shockproof to 7 feet, Fast, bright f2.0 lens that starts wide (at 25mm equiv.), 1080p HD video, time lapse and highspeed tricks, Handy, and attractive styling, Very entertaining microscope modes, WiFi and GPS, Three
Toughness specs no longer leading, Only 4X zoom, Only 32MB of internal storage!, Tiny controls
With the 16-megapixel Tough TG-3, Olympus—the pioneer in the field of rugged, waterproof outdoor cameras—continues its impressive and increasingly powerful line of compact rugged cameras. The new TG-3 appears to have what it takes to compete with the outd...
Abstract: On its rear deck, the Olympus TG-3 sports a 3.0-inch LCD monitor. While it's the same size as the 3.0-inch Organic LED display of the TG-2, the resolution is a bit lower. The TG-2's screen had a dot count of around 610,000, where the TG-3 has some 460,000...
Great build quality, Excellent screen, Ergonomic controls
Disappointing panorama mode, Not as waterproof as some rivals, Average image quality
Most toughened cameras are tough on paper, but few can match the TG-3's exceptional build quality and confidence-inspiring rugged feel. Divers may prefer the Canon D30's 25-metre depth rating or the 18-metre underwater ability of the Nikon AW120, but othe...
Sturdy, reliable build, Waterproof to 15 metres, shockproof from heights of 2 m, crushproof to 100 kg, Builtin WiFi, Even more accessories now available, Excellent responsiveness, Very good "Super Macro" mode
Temperamental flash, Picture quality could generally be better
Like last year's TG-2, the Olympus Tough TG-3 will make a great pocket companion for outdoor adventures on land or at sea, especially if you're interested in using its high-performance macro modes and range of converter lenses and accessories. But despite...

Great build quality, Excellent screen, Ergonomic controls
Disappointing panorama mode, Not as waterproof as some rivals, Average image quality
The TG-3 doesn't stand out significantly from the tough camera competition in any one area, but its combination of superb toughness, extensive action-orientated features and ease of use are good enough to give it the edge over its rivals. Image quality i...
