Olympus Tough TG-6 review
Test score %
The Olympus Tough TG-6 comes at a high asking price of almost £450, which, at its release, is the price of some of our highest scoring premium compact cameras. However, tough and waterproof cameras haven't historically performed very well in our testing, and usually can't stand up to premium compacts in terms of low-light picture quality and creative controls. So, with the promise of RAW images, 4K video and a tough housing, will this new model from Olympus be placed among the very best? Read the results of our lab testing to find out.
