Remember the Essentials
Sufficient memory is not included.
Don't get caught without memory, get a high-capacity memory card.
The TG-310 Digital Camera (Blue) from Olympus won't let you down--this is a compact 14MP camera with a 3.6x wide-angle zoom lens (28-100mm equivalent in 35mm format) that's waterproof (down to 10'/ m), shockproof (tested for a 5'/1.5 m drop), and freezeproof (to 14°F/-10°C). You can take it anywhere you go without worry, and take gorgeous photos plus dazzling 720p HD video at the touch a single button.
It has a high resolution 2.7" LCD monitor, Wi-Fi compatibility (with an optional Eye-Fi card), and will take high-capacity SDXC memory cards. Magic Filters (Pop Art, Pin Hole, Drawing, Fisheye, Soft Focus, Punk, Watercolor, and Sparkle) help you make your pictures and movies even more creative, and you can take 3D pictures with the TG-310 (even underwater!).
Dual Image Stabilization chases away those blurry picture blues, and Tap Control allows you to operate playback, shadow adjustment, flash and more by just tapping the top, back or side of the camera--great for underwater or when wearing gloves.
- Waterproof
- A revolutionary system of waterproof seals and gaskets keeps water out so you can take pictures as deep as 10 feet underwater.
- Shockproof
- Durable body with an innovative shock-absorbing technology protects it from drops of up to 5 feet.
- Freezeproof
- It's freezeproof down to 14°F/-10°C. Perfect for skiing, snowboarding, sledding and other winter fun, this camera is winterized to perform at below-freezing temperatures!
- 14MP
- An amazing 14 million pixels in the high-resolution CCD create superior image quality. Create poster-sized prints without losing a single detail.
- 3.6x Wide-Angle Optical Zoom
- You'll never leave anyone out. With its 3.6x wide-angle optical zoom (28mm) you can get dramatically close to the action, and capture everyone and everything in sight.
- 2.7" LCD
- This large 2.7" LCD features an extra-wide viewing angle for easier composing and shooting.
- One-Touch HD Movie
- With One-Touch HD Movie you can record widescreen, crystal clear HD movies (720p) right from your camera.
- Dual Image Stabilization
- Dual Image Stabilization combines Sensor-Shift Image Stabilization with high ISO sensitivity and fast shutter speeds so you can capture crisp, clear images even if the subject is moving.
- 3D Photos
- Discover the depth of 3D stills. From macro shots to landscapes, Olympus' 3D technology shoots two pictures and combines them into one image for a dramatic effect when viewed on a 3D device. Perfect for bringing your memories to life.
- Wi-Fi Compatibility (With Optional Eye-Fi Card)
- No need for cables or even a computer. Upload or email images directly from your camera with an optional Eye-Fi card.
- Tap Control
- Operate picture playback, shadow adjustment, flash mode and more just by tapping the top, back and sides of the camera. Tap Control is ideal for underwater use or when wearing gloves.
- Magic Filters: Still Photos & Movies
- Add style and artistic flair to stills and movies with Olympus' Magic Art Filters. Joining, Pop Art, Pin Hole, Drawing, Fish Eye, and Soft Focus are the new Punk, which creates a two-tone image with a classic punk rock feel, Watercolor, which transforms images into frame-worthy paintings, and Sparkle, which adds a twinkle to your photos. (Effects vary by model.)

- A TruPic III+ Image Processor, first developed for professional digital SLRs, knows precisely how to deliver true-to-life color, the sharpest details, and less noise.

I didn't want to drag my DSLR gear (bulky and expensive) when ocean fishing/diving from my kayak. I thought of purchasing a waterproof box for my G12, but decided that I wanted something that will fit into a pocket and serve my needs, without worrying about water/salt getting into my gear.
For the price it is a great deal. You don't get manual functions, but frankly, I don't have time to compose a shot or dial in manual functions when I'm on the water. I need to be able to see a shot of the fish, kayakers, or the scenery and take a snapshot. The picture quality is great. An added plus is that my kids can take it to the pool or anyplace and I won't worry about them dropping or getting it wet/dirty. Highly recommend.
If I could get 1 wish list, I wish it had an "Av" function so that I can adjust the aperture.

Lasted me 15 days, and i am not specially clumsy.....
Got this cam as a present, and even tough its an underwater camera, the card compartiment got opened while taking pictures in the beach, and that was it.....
Im used go Pro/semiPro DSLRs as well as to point and shoot Canon and Nikons. I also use old Olympus lenses from the 70s for movie making, but this is different....This one is not worth it. Image quality was not good, few manual options even just to add fill flash, battery lasted less than a day,which was quite frustrating on my trip to indonesia....many disadvantages to other rival cameras.....
My advice: skip
I would go with the canon DC10.....

Comments about Olympus TG-310 Digital Camera (Blue):
I bought this camera last month to replace the old camera Stylus 1030SW which I used for the last 5 years and love it. I use the TG-310 about a dozen times on land and several times while kayak fishing. So far this camera has exceed my expectation as far as picture quality and long battery life.

Comments about Olympus TG-310 Digital Camera (Blue):
Purchased as a simple to operate & durable camera for our toddler to use. She loves it and can turn it on and snap pics. It's perfect for this.
Image quality, however, is far inferior in my opinion to point & shoot Canon cameras. If you're looking for rich color, don't buy this camera. Auto white balance is weak.
Battery charger requires camera to be connected to the charger. Also not as nice as Canon point & shoot.

Comments about Olympus TG-310 Digital Camera (Blue):
We bought 2 of these and returned both because of leaking. Not waterproof, not even water resistant. Both leaked in less than 4 feet of water and were never below 8 feet deep. The lens is also in a very bad spot. We took several photos of fingers.
