Perfect for rugged travel
By Joshua C on Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2025
Got this for a trip to Central America so we would have something durable and water resistant. I've had past Olympus tough cameras and was happy with them - this model continues that trend. The camera is highly durable surviving bangs and bumps on rocks, trees, floors, etc. It did well in water (swimming with sharks, boating, on the beach, river rafting, etc) and on land. Battery life was fine (I supplemented it with some additional third party batteries just to ensure I had enough power). Picture quality is good to excellent depending on your expectations and the conditions around you. The video function works really well and we got some great videos with the camera as well. Overall a fun camera with great functionality and great photo and video abilities.

Was great but quickly has issues for me
By john cook on Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2024
Only had this about 2 months and had very high hopes for it. I will say that the macro and microscope feature is (was I should say) awesome and takes amazing up close shots. My issue with it is that is developed this purple glow directly in the center of the image and also causes it to become blurry. I am very familiar with cameras and the lens is clean, proper lighting with photos. The blurry purple spot also takes up about half the image with the use of microscope mode and a quarter with photo stacking mode. This camera has never been dropped or wet and has been treated like a high end camera. I was hoping to replace my big camera in the field with this for fungi taxonomy projects but looks like this will not be the case. Have to now send this back in for them to repair or replace. I bought this as a friend has one and has had no issues so I believe it might be a great camera but maybe just my bad luck of getting one with issues.
