Olympus Tough TG-870

Has anyone had a chance to use this camera yet? I have the 810, but am thinking about upgrading to the 870 and am just curious of how well it does pictures and videos.

I have the TG-860 and besides a few settings and a slightly better GPS they are identical.

May want to see if you can catch the TG-860 on sale or an Amazon warehouse deal. I picked mine up for $135, could save you some bucks, while keeping the same features.

I haven't seen them that cheap unless they were refurbished. Most places want $10-$30 less then they want for the TG-870. I'll keep my eyes open though.

It was one of those Amazon Warehouse deals. Still in box, and if it is only $30 less, then might as well get the newest of the new.

Thank you. Even better that it came in orange.

Just be careful as Olympus warranties technically are non-transferable. If the original buyer registered it you could potentially have trouble; be sure to check the status with Olympus during the return period.

Also, Olympus has refurbs directly, though stock is dynamic depending on what they have available at any given time. See http://www.getolympus.com/us/en/outlet/reconditioned-cameras.html

Just remember the warranty is shorter, although an extension can be purchased. I've bought cameras and lenses from them and have been pleased.
