Customer Review

This allows you to get a picture from the picture quality of the TG-850 itself, I'll add a link to images in full resolution in the first comment.
_____________

Primarily this camera is advertised for your watertight to 10 meters deep and because of their robustness. To test their water tightness, I once photographed about 10 minutes with her in the water, and let them once about 15 minutes at about 2 feet in the water. Both times they penetrated no water. As for their sturdiness, but left to be desired for me. So a number of small micro-scratches are formed on the display after each of the two water contacts, but they do not affect the display quality; and the OK lettering on the center button of the control ring goes from increasing.
_____________

The developers have placed underwater with this camera you focus clearly on the water tightness and the quality of the photos.

So I did not have high expectations of the quality of the images due to the design of the camera from the beginning. And so the quality is also rather roughly on a par with a Samsung ES80, I tested about 3 years ago. Said at the time was about 80 euros. As the lens moves only inside the camera, I did not see no longer expected.

When you view the linked me size images, you will notice that the contours are often drawn not particularly clear. In particular faces fall - in some cases even very - roughly pixelated. Even at low ISO values ​​start at the pictures clearly rushing.

Once it is under water, the image quality increases but clearly.
_____________

Two quirks, I would like to mention.

The image quality in the automatic mode is greater than in the program mode. For anyone who seeks to prevent automatic programs otherwise fundamentally, this was a big surprise.

Not a single panoramic picture is me even moderately successful.
_____________

Because the picture quality I would therefore not purchase.

But if you, for example, like canoeing, while simply want to hold only your impressions in the image, without wanting to worry about the dangers that may be exposed to a camera, this beautiful handy camera might come into question for you.
_____________

The ES80 I then given 5 stars. But with a camera for around 300 euros I create different standards.

Should you have any questions about specific points of my review, so I answer that, as far as I possible, like in the comments.
