Great little waterproof point-and-shoot with a fold-out screen.
Great little waterproof point-and-shoot with a fold-out screen.
I love my little Olympus TG-860. I just got it a few days ago, but I already know I love it. The fold-out screen is great, and on a waterproof camera it's even better. I'm used to using fold-out screens on my other cameras - first a Sony R1, then a Nikon D5000, then a Sony A55, and now a Sony A65. I use the fold-out screens all the time. I only rarely use a viewfinder, so I barely miss having a viewfinder, when using this little camera (which isn't really that little).
I've used my TG-800 both above water and under water already . . . though I haven't taken it very deep. Here are some photos (straight out of the camera):
