Oh dear what a nightmare. Unlike the other reviewer, I had nothing but problems. The first time out snorkeling the lens got condensation inside, then about 5 minutes later the condensation started showing up on the screen. Couldn't take any pics even though the camera was operational. The panorama mode is a joke. About 1 out of 10 came out. You could clearly see where it was stitched. Sometimes it would randomly place the same frame twice in the panorama. Totally useless. I also found the positioning of the dial to be right in the way of where my thumb goes when grabbing it, causing the dial to move to another setting, or in between settings. Had to check it for every shot. Very inconsistent image quality too, sometimes the sky would be totally blown out, and the next shot it would be correct.
Battery life not impressive. And for a "rugged" camera, the body scratched VERY easily. I had an old Canon D10 that finally stopped working after many many years of hard use, most of the time bouncing around the cockpit and it still looks great. After one trip out the TG3 had paint scratched off all over the place, and it wasn't a particularly rough use day.
This camera ruined my vacation pics. I'll be avoiding Olympus in the future.
