Bought this camera for a trip Europe where luggage space was at a premium. As this was a trip of a lifetime it was important to have a camera that would capture our memories in good quality images without having to worry about sand, sea and adverse weather.

Quick and accurate GPS tagging; Wi-Fi connectivity; Improved waterproof credentials from previous model

Lens tends to fog and smudge easily; Zoom rocker can be a bit fiddly when wearing gloves; Fingers can easily obstruct lens; Images appear a little flat on default settings

Not the best performance in low light; Narrow aperture compared with the competition; Image sharpness suffers at edges of frame.

I bought and returned the Olympus TG830 because it made too loud a ticking sound from the autofocus on all videos, and you cannot turn off continuous video auto focus. I bought this Nikon and put it through its paces today, and I think it's a keeper now: You get a two point neck strap, so that it...
