The TG-5 was a popular compact camera and while the TG-6 doesn't make a major upgrade, it still meets a need in the market. It's also easy to use and can deliver good quality images in a range of conditions. However, if you're using it for general photogr...
Takes a licking, keeps on ticking, 4K and high-speed video, Brilliant Microscope mode
… but a piece did break off, Only 12MP image resolution, No fully manual control
While the TG-6 packs some fun new features, they may not warrant an upgrade if you already own the TG-5. However, if you have an older Tough or you're looking for a camera that can go in the sea, get covered in sand, be dropped onto concrete, and still ta...

Tank-like construction, Zoom lens with f/2, Super slow-mo video,
Middling image quality, Over-zealous noise control
The Olympus Tough TG-6 is the best tough compact for photography and video in extreme conditions. Its small sensor means that image quality is unavoidably unexceptional, but this is simply a fact of this camera type. So as long as you temper your expectat...
Shoots in raw format,Wide maximum aperture for low light, Useful macro mode,
Buttons a little fiddly, Manual controls limited, Doesn't go as deep as others on the market,
Whether you're looking for a tough compact to use for specific underwater activities - such as snorkelling - or you want a well-performing camera for family trips and holidays, then the Olympus Tough TG-6 is an excellent choice. It's a little more expensi...
My early thoughts are that the camera is well built, takes decent photos and videos, and that kids will love taking snaps and recording video in the swimming pool with it. It's also worth saying that one of the standout features of this camera - a ‘micros...
Internally stacked zoom lens, Raw shooting is a bonus, Video up to 4K resolution, Intuitive to use
Bright conditions can lead to burnt-out highlight detail, No eye-level viewfinder, Quality reduced at longer focal lengths, LCD visibility suffers in strong sunlight, Small sensor at its heart, Some controls tricky to use with gloves or with wet fingers
The Olympus Tough TG-6 is relatively easy to use and intuitive to operate, while image quality is fair without being outstanding, and build quality is reassuringly substantial. Unless you need the few upgraded features, however, the previous TG-5 or Panas...
