Clevere Outdoor-Cam, die aber über eine mittelmäßige Bildqualität nicht hinauskommt.

The Olympus TOUGH TG2 has a lot to recommend it for those who spend a lot of time in and around the water and want a quality compact to record their activities. It's solidly constructed and the tap control makes it easy to get along with in the water without compromising 'normal' handling on dry land. It also has a brighter lens than most waterproof rivals, ...

We are torn. We recommended the TG-1, and we started off really loving the TG-2. Nice images and fast performance in a rugged point-and-shoot – or any point-and-shoot, for that matter – can be difficult to come by, but the TG-2 handles with aplomb. Unfortunately, our love affair soured when we discovered water intrusion during a trip to a local water park. We aren’t sure if it’s an isolated incident or not, but for a company that’s been making rugged cameras for so long and a camera that’s billed as tough, we certainly didn’t anticipate this happening. Our takeaway is this: No product is going to be perfect, but that’s not any consolation when you’ve just spent nearly $400 for a camera that doesn’t do what it claims to do. We didn’t encounter this issue with the TG-1, although water leaks aren’t unheard of with these types of cameras (other review sites and consumer comments also indicated a similar problem). We were glad that after a day of drying, the camera worked fine, but we are concerned about long-term effects or having the problem occur again.

Die Olympus TOUGH TG-2 (Praxis) ist eine solide gebaute Outdoorkamera mit manueller Blendenwahl und einem lichtstarken Objektiv. Wäre die Abbildungsleistung des 4-fach-Zooms und die Bildqualität des CMOS-Sensors besser, wäre sie ein echter Knaller. So muss man sich mit einer nicht mehr ganz klassenüblichen Bildqualität zufriedengeben. Wer eine Outdoorkamera mit großer Blendenöffnung und manuellen Optionen sucht, kommt an der Olympus TOUGH TG-2 aktuell aber trotzdem kaum vorbei.

Die Olympus Tough TG-2 ist eine hochwertige Digicam mit vielen Optionen, praxisnaher Bedienung und guter Bildqualität. Die ideale Digicam für Anwender, die eine universal einsetzbare und gleichzeitig robuste Kamera suchen.
