OM System Olympus TG-6 Red - Review

I recently purchased the OM System Olympus TG-6 Red Underwater camera and have been thoroughly impressed by its performance. If you're looking for a durable and high-quality underwater camera that can handle all kinds of extreme conditions, this is definitely the one for you.

First and foremost, this camera is incredibly tough. It's waterproof up to 50 feet (15 meters), dustproof, shockproof up to 7 feet (2.1 meters), and crush-proof up to 100kgf. It's also freeze-proof down to 14 degrees Fahrenheit (-10 degrees Celsius) and features anti-fog capabilities, making it the perfect camera for outdoor adventures.

Aside from its durability, one of the standout features of this camera is its high-resolution F2.0 lens and maximum 8x zoom. The back-illuminated CMOS image sensor is top-of-the-line and produces stunning, high-quality images that are perfect for both stills and video.

For those interested in macro photography, the variable macro system comprised of 4 macro shooting modes is a game-changer. You can shoot magnified up to 1 centimeter from the end of the lens, making it easy to capture all the fine details of your subjects. The 44x macro shooting feature is also incredibly useful and produces sharp and detailed images.

Underwater photography is also seamless with the OM System Olympus TG-6. It features 5 underwater shooting modes, including an underwater microscope and 3 underwater white balance modes. These make it easy to capture vibrant and detailed images, even in the murkiest of waters.

And let's not forget about video. The camera is capable of recording stunning 4K movie and full HD 120 fps high-speed movies, which is perfect for capturing all your outdoor adventures. Battery life is also impressive, with approximately 340 images being able to be captured in one charge. If you're not using the zoom and other operational functions, battery life can last up to 110 minutes, even when repeatedly recording at the maximum time of 29 minutes.

While the OM System Olympus TG-6 Red Underwater camera has a lot of great features, there are a few things that could be improved upon. One of the main drawbacks is the price. It's definitely on the higher end of the spectrum, making it a difficult purchase for those on a tight budget.

Another issue is the lack of a viewfinder. While the LCD screen is large and easy to use, it can be difficult to see in particularly bright sunlight. This is definitely something to consider if you plan on using the camera in sunny conditions frequently.

Overall, I would highly recommend the OM System Olympus TG-6 Red Underwater camera to anyone looking for a durable and high-quality camera that can handle all kinds of extreme conditions. Whether you're an avid adventurer or just looking for a good camera for your next vacation, this camera is definitely worth the investment.
