Olympus TG-Tracker with 1.5-Inch LCD (Green)

Much better build quality and QC that a GoPro. The recent GoPro reviews are calling it a brick since it dies if you don’t use the correct SD card. This camera will have none of that. It takes a beating and keeps repeating. The film quality is 10/10 and only wish 4K was 60 FPS. It’s only 30 FPS but 1080 is 60 FPS. Unless you have a 4K tv, the 1080 is more that crisp enough. Considering you’ll be uploading on YouTube and watching on your phone, you don’t need 4K. If you can find this camera anymore, buy it. They discontinued it a year ago and have not replaced it. Olympus dropped the ball.

Annoying to use. Not intuitive. Not reliable. Took it on 2 trips and will never use it again.

A really great action cam. I have been testing this out for about a week, and I haven't found much about it that I don't like. I put a 64 GB U3 card into it, and it allows me to take more than an hour of 4k video, which is great. Setting it on full HD gives me almost 6 hours of recording time. There are really two settings for how wide the lens works. The "normal" setting gives an EXTREMELY wide-angle shot, with quite a bit of barrel​ distortion. Knowing about lenses and how they work would necessitate this distortion to get the extreme angle. It is nice to know that it will be hard to miss action with that much angle on the lens. There is also a second setting for "underwater" that reduces the angle somewhat and takes away a fair amount of distortion. There is also a great time lapse function so you can do those cool videos where you build stuff. I really like that. The camera comes with a pistol grip attachment that makes filming really easy, and it uses the same attachment type as the GoPro accessories, so all of those head straps, chest straps, and selfie sticks will work with this camera. The LCD is also a great addition. Sure, it doesn't swivel, but that shouldn't be looked at as a negative. It is SO GREAT to be able to see what you are capturing, even if the screen isn't all that flexible. No more guessing as to what settings are activated, and that is awesome. I am putting my review at 4 stars for now because I have some further testing to do with it on vacation this next week. Long story short, I am super happy with the investment so far and the video quality is great!

Nice idea but lacks pause resume and ability to zoom. I returned it

I can’t say enough good things about the picture quality of this camera. I use it when I cycle, predominantly, and the image stabilisation works quite well. One thing I discovered that I really like is that, if you use the setting that takes a frame every half second, you end up with countless fairly high quality still images. Bonus! It’s light, the menu is fairly simple to figure out ( I didn’t even need to look up instructions ), and it has a heck of a lot more style than the more expensive GoPro. It might not have all the bells and whistles but, for the functions most people will actually use, it beats the competition handsdown.
