Hi. I'm Julie. I just spent a few weeks playing with the Olympus Stylus TG-2. It's one of
the Tough cams that they have that's supposed to be waterproof and shockproof and freeze-proof
and dustproof, and all those kind of things. So I noticed a couple things about the camera
first of all. It's really, really solid. I own another waterproof camera and it's actually
a little easier to hold onto. It works more like a regular camera that you can use when
you're nowhere near the water or anything like that.
It also did a really good job at actually just taking pictures. It handled lots of different
scenes well. So we went to aquariums, which are notoriously difficult to photograph, and
it did a great job there, but it also did well underwater, on roller coasters with motion,
all that stuff. It had a ton of scene modes, way more, frankly, than I was ever able to
use, but it's not a bad thing if you're actually looking to capture the kinds of pictures that
those scene modes make possible. Like if you really want to take pictures of your pets,
there are specific scene modes for capturing cats or capturing dogs.
I have three small children. This was a camera that I actually handed over to them for a
few weeks and let them go crazy with. We would play games where we would actually toss it
to the bottom of the pool and they would dive for it. So that was pretty good too. You never
had to worry about it. It was different than using a regular camera entirely. If you have
any questions, just give Crutchfield a call.
