Summary: Most camera makers have a waterproof compact in their product range these days. Olympus, however, has three. First of all, the TG-310 gives other entry-level models (Fuji XP30, for example) a run for their money with its rock-bottom price. Second, the...

Summary: Olympus has just launched its Quicksilver-branded TG-610 tough series of digital cameras- giving this brand a real Australian outdoorsy flavour.

Conclusion: So my only gripe were the clunky buttons and perhaps also the late-90s styling – retro may be in but it doesn't mean I have to like it. All-in-all, the Olympus TG-610 is an easy to use solid little performer in an ever-increasing field.

Pro : tough, easy to use and good picture output

Cons : clunky buttons and a style-free design
