Customers like the image quality of the digital camera. They mention that it's a travel and tough camera with very good to excellent image quality. They say that the underwater pictures they took were fantastic, and that the Raw gives them much higher resolution photos than a camera shooting JPEG. Customers are also impressed with the shutter speed, burst speed, screen size and clarity, saying that it does a really good job with basic underwater photography.

Customers say that it makes it easy to take pictures of the night sky and lights without a tripod, and can take snapshots then capture video without switching modes.

Customers are mixed about the performance of the digital camera. Some mention it's got a pretty fast shutter speed (up to 1/2000) in decent light, and with the nice fast power-on-to-first-picture time, GPS acquisition reasonably fast. However, others say it would pick ridiculously slow shutter speeds, the microscope mode is good fun, and the video is very weak in this model. Customer service was fair, and did mention that the viewfinder is unusable in sunlight.

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.
Beautiful macro photos, easy to use, held up great in the water (took it on a beach trip and it survived a couple hours in the ocean with absolutely no issues), takes wonderful scenery shots, I LOVE the wifi feature. A lot of people had issues with the app, I have an iphone 5s and got it working in minutes, its the best thing ever, I can use the touchscreen on the phone to select where I want the focus to go on the camera and remotely take photos with the phone as well as change the settings on the camera remotely.
CONS: Not the best screen, I often can hardly tell how a photo really looks until I get it on the laptop, and with no view finder there's no other option, its not horrible, but it could stand improvement. Though not a huge deal, the panoramic software is pretty bad, it's hard to use and doesn't do a very good job at stitching photos, just use your phone for panoramic photos, it will do better than this camera, I promise.
Overall I love this camera, it does exactly what I need it to and more. The Macro is spectacular and I cant wait to get some of the attachments. Very impressed for the price and size.
Sample photos are straight from the camera, unedited. The first 3 were taken underwater. The purple one is a closeup of the center of a thistle flower. The last 2 were taken using some of the built-in filters.
2. Thus, I've always been reluctant to get a waterproof camera simply due to the relative lousy quality of the images. I mean, nothing in life is free; you get the protection against the elements but at the expense of decent photo quality. But this camera will definitely satisfy most photographers out there, including those who may be relatively picky ( ie like me).
re: Controls: since it's waterproof, you can't expect it to have a lot of buttons / dials; I like to have some control over exposure / f-stop; will some minor button pushing, I can adjust the f-stop, iso, and deal with exposure compensation.
re: Quality: This thing shoots in RAW, which is really nice when I want to be able to post process a potential image. On the downside, there's no burst mode when shooting in RAW ( hopefully the next version will have this). On the otherhand, when properly exposed, the JPEGS are really nice or good enough... most of the time. The sharpness of image, len vignetting etc... is what most people would consider pretty good.
re: Video: I don't shoot video much, but it looks fine.
re: Underwater shooting: obviously, I use this mainly when in / near the water and it really does add an extra level of photography fun. If you have decent lighting, you can really get some fun shots... and I say fun shots because the main benefit of this would be to get family shots in the water. For anyone looking to get serious / decent shots of wildlife in the water, you really need to go with a regular camera with dedicated housing and lights and etc...
re: Lens: I really like the focal length of this camera; esp the wide end.
re: Close up mode: I've briefly experimented with this; there is definitely some interesting potential here, but in that I have gear for macro work with my other camera(s), I don't utilize this camera for that . But if you don't, this macro capability along with potential to focus stack (need a tripod) may be a great feature to utilize.
3. Thus, taking the above constraints into account, this is definitely a great camera to consider.
Top reviews from other countries
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.
