The waterproof pocket sized shockproof camera to beat!- 2014

After first trying out the GoPro Hero 3 BE and Nikon AW120 I took the leap and purchased the Olympic Tough TG-3. Best camera purchase I have been in the last five years!

It is very well made from the front to back. The menu is user friendly and it is very durable.

The microscope mode on this camera combined with waterproof, shockproof, and freeze proof features along with LED ring, wide, and telephoto lens plus wifi app makes this camera an outdoorsmen's must have.

I use this for hiking, fishing, caving, swimming, and metal detecting. I cannot find myself replacing this with anything made today and so I have quit looking. Very happy with this camera as it is.
