About the Olympus TG-820 iHS
Released in February 2012, the Olympus TG-820 iHS is listed as a waterproof, rugged compact. It pairs a 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor of 12 megapixels with a 5x optical zoom that spans 28-140 mm in 35mm terms and opens from F3.9 to F5.9. That is a modest range, chosen to keep the lens compact and sealed rather than to reach far.
The body measures 101 x 65 x 26 mm and weighs 206 g, with a 3-inch monitor on the back. It uses the LI-50B lithium-ion battery and records to SD, SDHC or SDXC cards. A camera of this type is aimed at beach, hiking and wet-weather snapshots where a standard compact would be a risk. Wide-to-short-telephoto coverage handles group shots, landscapes and casual portraits.
Buying one used
As a waterproof model, inspect door seals and gaskets for cracks, sand or salt residue before trusting it near water. Check that the LI-50B battery charges, the SD, SDHC or SDXC slot works, and the lens window is free of scratches.
