Install Flash Player The TG 870 looks great and feels comfortable holding right handed. The TG 870 also takes great photos and video for a camera with a 1 2.3" sensor. The new 900,000 resolution flip up screen makes it easy to get low angle shots and the images look great while reviewing photos and video. This camera is suited to anyone looking for a action type camera, it delivers quality images in a tough compact package. Its nice to setup this camera on a Gorilla Pod and not have to worry about rain, or if the dogs crash into it, or whatever. Ive tried every tough camera on the market and none of them are perfect, for what its worth, the TG 870 is my favorite This website compresses the video. The actual HD video looks amazing.

I pre ordered the camera in January before a planed trip to Maui, I wanted a camera that was water proof and count take HD video,we used it snorlking, hiking,indoors and outdoors Im very happy I spent quite some time going over all the settings so to know what to use indoors outdoors and underwater,for the price I think its a very good action tough camera, the flip up LCD screen is great for selfies you can see exactualy what your framing in the shot

We had some issues from the start. It was nice that I was able to connect it to wifi and the app on my phone. Within a few months, it wouldnt take a picture, but it was intermittent... then, these bright pink lines were making the picture crazy... long story short, we sent it in for repair (they would not pay for the shipping, even though they confirmed that it was an internal error by my description.) It has been approved for warranty and is on its way back. The warranty /repair process wasnt easy. I filled out the information online and then never received email updates about what to do, where to send it, etc..... I also never received anything about the progress of the repair. I dont ask much, but they should be bending over backwards to make sure the consumer is happy and satisfied. Now, a few months later and the shutter is broken. It will cost $96 to repair it.

I was looking for a reasonably priced camera to take underwater pictures. It camera was a very good choice. I took fantastic pictures. It was a little hard to figure out, but once I did, it was great. the colors is very lifelike and the pictures are very sharp. I would recommend this to anyone that wants to take great pictures and video.

Great photos. Waterproof and durable. I was a bit surprised at how heavy the camera is. I guess that is the tough case. That may be an issue if you want to lug it around the ski slopes. Dont take out the warranty. Is not covered by Amazon but a third party called Warrantech. The registration process is nightmare. I thought I was all signed up but they send you and a goose chase of e-mails and web sites with links that dont work. I still have not managed to register the warranty.

I bought this camera for my holiday in Indonesia. The second day I used I stop working. There was condensed humidity inside the lens. The battery compartment was totally dry. My vacations were kind of ruined. I also had the 850 and fail two times. No more chances for this piece of crap.

This camera takes the best pictures I have seen in a waterproof point & shoot. I have had 4 cameras before this from different makes and this is by far better. However, on its first snorkel trip it leaked through the lens and became inoperable within hours. Thankfully the warranty program at Olympus was easy and I got a new camera. Just too bad it was a big damper on my trip. I love the flip display for taking selfies! The Wifi is such a good feature too since everyone wants pictures on their phones immediately.

Purchased this camera to take on a Florida vacation. In terms of construction and toughness - we used it in the salt water at an ocean beach in Miami, several hotel pools and had no issues with it. The camera held up against everything we threw at it, including my 9 and 5 year old kids =) The pictures we got off the camera were actually surprisingly awesome. In daytime light, the pictures are great. In the water, things also were better than expected. Lower light situations the camera seemed to struggle a bit but that might be to be expected for a camera in this price range. One feature I like playing with is the time lapse feature. Its pretty interesting to set up an interesting scene and let it capture for a while and then see what you get in the end.

I took this camera to Thailand and Cambodia among other local, U.S. locations. It managed not to get ruined in the high humidity that zapped my last camera in Cozumel. My only complaint would be, for this price, I would expect a higher zoom. My last camera that cost less than half of this one had about twice the zoom capability and I miss that feature. Overall, Im happy enough with it. It appears durable. I have not tried the waterproof feature yet because the directions say you have to soak it in a bucket of clear water for a period of time after use in salt water...and that just isnt really practical when traveling. If anybody else has used it in salt water, comment and let me know how that works for you. Its a smidge heavy to have around my neck, but when I travel, if the camera isnt right there...I wont take photos. Too much hassle to get it out of my pack, out of the case, take a picture and put it away. I took over 1000 photos with it on my November Asia trip.

Took wonderful photos. On fourth day of vacation it leaked and was ruined. Returned for warranty repair. Came back. First use after that I got an "overheating" message and it shut down. Returned it again. Because I hadnt used it within 6 months of the last repair the repair warranty wasnt honored. I was told I should have tested it in my sink as soon as I got it back. Really? Told them to throw it away.
