Remember the Essentials
Sufficient memory is not included.
Don't get caught without memory, get a high-capacity memory card.
This TG-610 Digital Camera (Red) from Olympus is one tough customer--it goes underwater as deep as 16' (4.87 m), out in the cold weather to 14°F (-10°C), and even if dropped from a height of up to 5' (1.5 m), keeps taking beautiful 14MP photos and dazzling 720p HD video with its 5x wide-angle 28-140mm (equivalent) zoom lens. Using the brilliant 3" LCD monitor with 960K dots of resolution, you can compose and view photos, knowing that the dual image stabilization and ISO up to 1600 will chase away those blurry-picture blues--plus you can create 3D photos, even underwater (viewable on a 3D device).
There's also Wi-Fi compatibility (with an optional Eye-Fi card), Tap Control that allows you to adjust picture playback, shadow adjustment, flash mode, and more, just by tapping the top, back and sides of the camera--great for cold weather when you're wearing gloves, or for shooting underwater. Magic Filters (8 of them) help you find your inner artist: you can choose Pop Art, Pinhole, Fisheye, Drawing, Soft Focus, Punk, Sparkle, or Watercolor.
There are also 36 shooting modes that will give you the optimal settings for almost any common photographic situation, as well as a Panorama setting. All in a very compact body that's less than 4" wide and only an inch thick, and weighs less than 7 oz.
- Waterproof
- A revolutionary system of waterproof seals and gaskets keeps water out so you can take pictures as deep as 16 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!
- 14 Megapixels
- An amazing 14 million pixels in the high-resolution CCD create superior image quality. Create poster-sized prints without losing a single detail.
- 5x Wide-Angle Optical Zoom
- You'll never leave anyone out. With its 5x optical zoom you can get dramatically close to the action, or zoom out wide and capture everyone and everything in sight.
- 3" LCD Monitor
- This huge 3" LCD features an extra-wide viewing angle and anti-glare technology for easier composing and shooting even in direct, bright sunlight.
- 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 (Even Underwater)
- 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 Filter Still & Movie
- 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)
- TruePic III+
- A TruePic III+ Image Processor, first developed for professional digital SLRs, knows precisely how to deliver true-to-life color, the sharpest details, and less noise.

Great little point and shoot camera for a novice. Ordered camera for a trip to CA after using my sons. I'm slightly technically challenged so it took a little bit to figure out some of the settings. Still learning and discovering new things on my camera everyday, but love it. Video seemed to focus and blur a bit when shooting, but not overly noticeable. A bit of a delay when taking pictures, nothing I haven't dealt with using other digital cameras. I didn't have battery issues as some of the reviews stated, but I had a second battery just in case. Did notice focusing issues when taking night shots, make sure you hold very very still or have a stationary object to use or shots will be blurry.

I bought this to replace the Olympus 1030SW (also a tough) which I lost a few months ago. THAT was a great camera, except for video quality--it was solid metal, heavy, indestructable. In fact, if you should find it on the highway in Iowa, please send it to me.
While this camera is everything it says it should be: tough, waterproof (not sure about crushproof, didn't test that). However, the quality of image suffers: pixelated, noisy, not sharp. The lag in shutter also caused me to miss shots I would not have with the 1030SW.
I realize a point and shoot isn't perfect, but I expected it to be as good as the discontinued 1030SW from 3 years ago. Don't waste your money on the T-610. I sent it back.

Comments about Olympus TG-610 Digital Camera (Red):
I bought this to replace a previous Olympus camera. I need a camera that can take some abuse, I use it on boats, at the beach, while skiing etc. I don't have to worry about braeking or getting it wet. It also has an underwater housing that I use to take underwater photos.

Comments about Olympus TG-610 Digital Camera (Red):
I just spent 3 months in SE Asia backpacking. It worked really well for me. It was nice for the trip becasue I didn't have to worry about keeping it dry or worry about being careful and not dropping it. The photos aren't the best quality but it is nice for documenting a trip, perfect for posting photos online and having for travel memories. I enjoyed the extra settings and taking some pictures with extra effects. I used it in the water often and only once found water inside the battery area. No damage was done to the camera or the battery/memory card. If you are using it in the water, be sure to check your seal before and after just to be safe.

Amazing features that are easy to use. Underwater pictures are great and we didn't even have it in the correct mode. Instructions are simple to follow. We look forward to using it on our kayak trips, cruises, and beach trips. We haven't found any dislikes yet.

A great camera to take pictures underwater with. The Shutter delay makes it a little bit difficult if you are shooting on fishes that moves...
But you get allot for your money!!

Bought this camera for a rafting trip 1 week B4 we did the Grand Canyon. Did not disappoint, learned its features on the fly. Takes great pics, good videos, and the panoramic feature was awesome. I had it in my swim suit all week, never had any issues with water or sand intrusion (there was plenty of both). GREAT CAMERA.
