    The Most Versatile Tough Camera Yet

    You're always on the go. New places and events, epic outdoor action and lots of familiar faces. You need a rugged camera with versatile features to instantly shoot and share, day or night. The TG-870 is designed for you. Waterproof to 50 ft (15 m), crushproof to 220 lbf (100 kgf), shockproof to 7 ft (2.1 m), freezeproof to 14°F (-10°C), and dustproof. With built-in Wi-Fi and GPS to keep you connected. You'll remember every moment. Now everyone else will too.

    180° Flip LCD Monitor

    From selfies to overhead concert shots to low-angle underwater shots, the advanced 180° flip LCD lets you compose images and video from any angle. The monitor's adjustable positioning and enhanced brightness and clarity make the TG-870 perfect for outdoor and underwater shooting.

    Programmable Front Button

    The TG-870's front function button can be programmed to trip the shutter or start video recording – especially handy for selfies and POV video. Or, activate LCD Boost to further brighten the monitor, turn on the front LED light to guide your way, or activate Super Macro Mode for shooting up close.

    Sportcam Video Modes

    Four Sportcam Modes make capturing jaw-dropping action easy! 60p Movie shoots smooth-motion full HD video. High-Speed Movie creates ultra slow-motion videos (120 fps / 240 fps). Time Lapse Movie compresses hours of action into short sequences. And Sport Burst consecutively shoots at specified time intervals.

    Live Composite Mode

    Night scenes, cityscapes, star trails - awesome to look at, seemingly impossible to shoot. The TG-870's Live Composite Mode is the solution. It extracts the brightest areas from a sequence of interval shots and automatically combines them into one perfectly exposed image right before your eyes.

    Built-In Wi-Fi Connectivity

    Built-in Wi-Fi makes shooting and sharing a breeze, no matter where you are on the map. With the free Olympus Image Share app and quick QR code setup, sync your smart device to the TG-870 for wireless uploading and sharing. Plus, compose shots, change camera settings, and shoot remotely from your smart device.

    Next-Generation GPS

    Adventurers who like to wander out of bounds won't get lost if they’re packing the TG-870. Next-generation GPS taps into three satellite systems in under 10 seconds to quickly establish your position. Use the free Olympus Image Track app to tag photos with GPS data when sharing images via a smart device.

    Creative Shooting Modes

    Use your TG-870 to create shots that stand out from the crowd. The specialized Selfie Mode focuses on the person holding the camera and compensates for distortion. 13 Art Filters, like Pin Hole or Grainy Film, apply professional effects to your shots. Use Panorama Mode to capture landscapes or wide-angle scenes.

    Rugged Accessories

    The TG-870's Sport Holder (CSCH-123) attaches to backpack straps or a chest harness, ideal for POV action videos. The Underwater Case (PT-057) is perfect for deep dives (up to 147 ft / 45 m). Add a floating wrist strap and a protective case, and your TG-870 will be ready to go whenever you are.

    Tough little camera with awesome photo quality, set up for underwater use and immediate photo sharing via wifi & phone app
    As a semi-professional photographer with a lot of experience using professional grade Canon and Nikon cameras, I was somewhat leery of dropping $200+ bucks on an Olympus point and shoot with a supposed 16MP, with "tons" of underwater features, and wifi. I have always found that when a product attempts to pack in a ton of features, quality suffers...however, with a last minute snorkeling trip to the keys planned, I swung by my local Best Buy on the way down (for the same price as Amazon) and picked one up.Before you go looking for the instruction manual, let me save you some trouble...there isn't one in the box. You will have to go online to look at it, however, the interface is extremely intuitive and you probably won't need it. Most of the camera settings can be adjusted on the fly while shooting from an on-screen flyout menu that you can control with the up and down arrows. I like that a lot, and it made switching settings extremely easy.The camera has a nifty little thumb-turn knob, that lets you easily get to 'scene' mode. This is where you want to stay if you are shooting underwater. This mode automatically deactivates the flash so you don't get the debris cloud, and this setting is where this camera really shines. With the press of a button when in scene mode, you can select from the side fly-out menu between "Underwater Action" for fast moving shots, "Underwater Scene" for those nice landscape shots, and "Underwater Macro" for some up-close shots of coral and shells. The underwater mode adds natural looking saturation and color adjustment, to accurately record what you are seeing with your eyes. They did a great job with this....but wait, in the middle of shooting you see a Peacock Parrotfish swim by and want to switch to video!...NO SWEAT! If you are in macro, just a click of the button will put you back in either Underwater Landscape or Action modes, then you just press the red record button. That's it!! I can tell you from personal experience, this came in extremely useful when I came across a spotted moray eel! The battery lasted us about 3 hours of continuous use, so if you are going to be out all day, I highly recommend purchasing 2 additional batteries to bring along, which we did.There is also a nifty high speed recording feature that records at either 120 or 240 frames per second, for super slow playback when jumping into the water for example. Even though the camera also offers 1080p 60fps, the best quality, color, and contrast was when shooting is at 1080p 30fps.It does have a lot of other features as well, one which surprisingly, were also of very good quality and just as intuitive. Olympus offers a smartphone app, that is extremely easy to use. You turn on wifi on the camera, and then from the app on your smartphone, point the camera at the QR code that displays on the phone screen. This is a one time action, and from there on forward the wifi will auto connect when using the app after you turn it on in the camera. You can view photos and video from the camera on your phone wirelessly, download to your phone, or share right from the app. With no internet out on the boat, sharing to facebook via this app and my phone was an amazing feature to have! Great thinking Olympus!I had a lot of fun with this little camera. Even though it is only rated for ~44ft depth for about an hour, I will be purchasing the external case that will allow it to be used for deeper scuba dives. For just over $200 it really is a great buy and I am extremely pleased with this purchase!NOTE: The photos and video posted are without any post-processing or adjustment. They are displayed exactly as taken by the camera.
