The Quicksilver branding is designed to further underline the camera's waterproof attributes, and at the same time also give more credence to the outdoor appeal of this newest of digital snappers from Olympus.

Olympus Tough TG-610: Olympus may have "Cracked" it with this one!
Whether you are an adrenalin junkie taking part in extreme sports, going on holiday where you and your technology will need to endure all types of terrain or you are all thumbs and have broken your last couple of cameras by dropping them into the toilet.

There's a reason why Olympus added the word "tough" to the Olympus Tough TG-610 3D camera's description – it really is tough. Not only is this baby waterproof in up to 16 feet of water, but it is freezeproof and shockproof as well.
Pros:
- This camera can function under extreme weather conditions
Cons:
- It can't record 3D videos and it records normal videos at only 720p

The waterproof Olympus Tough TG-610 is the worst camera I have used in 30+ years of amateur photography. I have used Minolta, Nikon, Sony, and many Canons, but this Olympus 610 has such poor ergonomics, controls, and lack of intuitive menus compared to my previous cameras.
Pros:
- 5x optical zoom
- waterproof
- seems solid
- 3" screen (though I would have liked a smaller screen if they made the joystick a little bigger.....the screen crowds out the tiny
- finicky joystick
Cons:
- Horrible ergonomics
- Terrible position of controls
- Very jerky zoom control
- 4 position joystick is way too small and finicky
- Autofocus in video mode doesn't lock
- and goes blurry every 20 seconds (this occurs when filming at distances from 20 yds to 100 yds
- No paper manual ($300 camera!!!!

We used the camera underwater at night with the pool lights on and were able to capture really neat photographs! Also used this camera on the high shutter speed function to capture people doing tricks into a pool and lake!

Excellent camera, good weight, size and feel, bought for underwater pictures and video for holiday. Got excellent underwater pictures and video with good sound even underwater. Nothing negative about this camera.

- shockproof to 1.5 m
- integrated lens cover
- Bright
- high-def screen with good viewing angles
- High-quality build and finish
Cons:
- Mediocre picture quality: sharpness and sensitivity could be better
- Video mode isn't great (under-exposed picture
- mono sound
- Slow to charge with USB charger
- Long lists of options in main menu / Quick menu doesn't open up on the last setting used
