About the Olympus Tough TG-1 iHS
The Olympus Tough TG-1 iHS, released in May 2012, is a waterproof, rugged compact with a 1/2.3-inch BSI-CMOS sensor of about 12 megapixels. Its 4x optical zoom covers 25-100 mm in 35mm-equivalent terms at a bright F2-4.9, a wide aperture for a camera of this type that helps in dim light and underwater scenes.
The body measures 112 x 67 x 30 mm and weighs 230 g, with a sturdy build suited to outdoor use around water, sand and travel. The 3-inch monitor aids framing. A short-range zoom keeps the lens simple and the construction solid, so the camera is better suited to adventure snapshots than distant subjects. Because tough models spend their lives in demanding settings, the condition of seals, doors and lens window matters more than usual when considering a used example, and careful inspection is advisable.
Buying one used
Inspect door seals and gaskets for wear, grit or cracks, and check the lens window for scratches. Confirm the battery holds a charge, test your memory card, and look for fogging behind the 3-inch screen.
