Olympus Stylus Tough TG-2 iHS Reviews
Imaging-resource reviews the Olympus Stylus Tough TG-2 iHS and writes;
“The Olympus TG-2 also has some special modes aimed at providing better ease of use, and some extra creative possibilities. The HDR Backlight Adjustment mode combines multiple, sequential shots to create a single image with greater dynamic range than is possible in a single exposure.”

Olympus Stylus Tough TG-2 iHS User Reviews
Fast lens, great point & shoot pictures
“Fast lens. Probably the single most defining feature of this camera as compared to other waterproof options available today. Takes pictures immediately when you press down the shutter. Very responsive.. Picture quality is excellent for a point and shoot. Lower light photos are okay. I shoot most low light with a DSLR, and this doesn’t really compare, but it is better than the average point and shoot camera.” – By jvdg27

Telephoto Converter Lens option / miscellaneous
“So far the results are exceeding my expectations, particularly the telephoto which allows optical zooming to roughly 170mm (as I understand it the digital zoom gets you around 340mm): even at maximum zoom the image quality to my eyes is good which I presume is largely a function of the fast lens speed.” – By M. J. Grace

Small upgrade in quality, big upgrade in utility
“Personally, for my interests in extended outdoor adventures, quality + low-light photography, and creative composition (teleconverter + fisheye), this is an excellent camera.” – By MRN

Much sharper than my Nikon AW100
“The video on this Olympus was ok, but compared to the Nikon, it is definitely sharper than the Nikon.. The most amazing thing about this camera is the super macro mode. This is available in photo and in video 1080p mode as well. I took a picture of a flower at eye level. Then I switched over to super macro, and even zoomed in to 4x. I placed the camera literally on the flower (manual say 1 cm!). I was able to video tape all these insects crawling around inside the flower.” – By VT

Good camera, compared with Canon D10
“The noisey video is not “that” bad. You have to be pretty anal to be as bothered as some are with this. Also, there is a wind filter for the Audio that really helps,… The white balance settings are good and effective, again, not as bad as some say.” – By darping

Great upgrade to my Olympus TG 8000

Great point and shoot camera
“My major use of this camera is for taking photos and this camera takes great sharp clear photos. It is a simple no brainer operating camera. If you are a little bit technology challenged you will find this camera easy to operate.” – By Gary L. Knepper
