Customers like the image quality of the camera. They mention that it takes great pictures both underwater and above, the pictures look pretty good, and the RAW files are easy to manipulate. The macro pictures are sharp, and with 16 MP the resolution is adequate for snapshots in the water. The shots taken in daylight were crisp and sharp with low grain. They are able to get some good low light pictures, and underwater pictures are fantastic.

There are some small issues with regard to the jpeg processing (in camera) and you can shoot RAW if you want, but I decided that overall the in-camera processing is adequate for what I want to do. The GPS, while a bit laggy in acquiring a signal, is quite handy. The zoom is not the longest - but is good for most everyday situations and scenics. It is really good at macro shots, I'm somewhat amazed at how well it works at that - almost like that was a primary design criteria. I haven't had the guts to actually put it in water yet - I'm used to cameras in waterprooof cases, not cameras that are waterproof themselves. Someday though!
All in all, a super competent camera in its genre - I think - and it's proven to be a very able and competent travel and tough camera with very good to excellent image quality.
Initial impression:
* This thing is pretty solid
* But there's no cover for the lens
* There are more knobs than I am used to
* It's small enough to fit in my jeans pocket
I read just enough to set up the time/date and learn how to turn it on, record video. I put it on "P" mode and hoped for the best.
Outdoor pictures are terrific. Underwater was a mixed bag (probably largely due to my inexperience). **Note: Pay attention to the instructions for cleaning/rinsing the camera after salt water use**. Indoor pictures are significantly better than my smartphone but not spectacular.
The camera has a WiFi feature which allows you to copy pictures directly to your smartphone (I use IOS but I think android is available too). The software is a bit confusing with documentation that isn't always helpful, but it does work. It is useful for copying snapshots, but a bit slow if you're copying video; use the USB cable or pop the SD card into your computer for those jobs.
Notes after a week:
* Battery life better than expected. I took several hundred shots and many minutes of video before the indicator dropped off "full".
* Camera turns on and off quickly but power button requires firm pressure.
* Can take snapshots then capture video without switching modes
* "Panorama" mode is picky about backgrounds.
* Display is bright enough to use on open water in bright sunlight.
* Wifi most useful for divers who don't want to wait a couple hours to rinse/dry before sharing pictures. A bit gimmicky otherwise.
* Wide/Tele button is a bit awkward to use (placement and tactile feedback)
* Zoom motor is very audible if recording video in quiet settings
Overall, this is probably a bit more camera than I need, but I am pleased with it. If I could change one thing it would be adding some protection for the lens.
Enter the TOUGH. This camera performed brilliantly. We were able to take it absolutely everywhere: onto the beach, into the sea, on the catamaran, kayaking, horseback riding, in the swim up pool, snorkeling, to dinner, etc. It was in my pocket pretty much everywhere we went. My finance also felt comfortable using it, which was a nice benefit.
The camera does not come with a separate battery charger (battery must be charged while in the camera by default), which isn't a big deal if you only have a single battery. We picked up a 3rd party accessory pack that included some extra batteries, a wall charger, and a floating wrist-strap that worked out great. We took the camera into the pool and out into the sea with us, and could just let it float around without worrying too much (although we generally tried to not leave the camera underwater if it could be helped... why push your luck, eh?).
This all said, the main thing that caught my eye about this point n' shoot camera is that you can shoot in RAW format! For any photographers out there familiar with post-processing your images, this will likely interest you. It gave me full freedom to tweak the images when we got back, and I'm very happy with the results. The low-light capabilities aren't the best, but shots taken in daylight were crisp and sharp with low grain. The macro also impressed me--I can take better macro shots with this than I can with my DSLR (I don't have a macro lens).
The camera is a little pricey, and for an item at this price point I'm generally the sort of shopper who will look for a sale before pulling the trigger. But this is not a purchase I regret.

The camera's battery lives longer than I expected: it was up all day long if there is no video taken. The camera's battery can be charged via USB port when you driving the car. The original package comes with no charger or additional battery, so I ordered them separately.
Moreover, the camera has an ability to attach fisheye and telephoto conversion lenses - both of which are waterproof. I have got the telephoto lenses, but have not been tested it yet underwater. Ttg4 still has a bit fogging condensation issue when the temperature has changed.
Overall, I am very satisfied with my new camera, it met all my needs and expectation - it is light weight, easy to use (I have Olympus mirror-less camera, so menu is almost the same), real waterproof, and it does not afraid of cold weather - I was tested the camera also on a slopes, when temperature was -10. It works good.
