What owners like
Olympus TG-820 iHS works best when you want beach days, rain, travel, and rougher bags where a normal compact feels too delicate rather than a technically perfect modern camera; its 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm) CMOS and 28-140 mm equivalent, F3.9-5.9 are the main character of the look.
Common complaints
Check the lens movement, flash, screen, buttons, and card door calmly before relying on it; older compact bodies can need a little patience without being a bad buy.
What to compare
Compare it with Olympus TG-320, Olympus Tough TG-1 iHS, Olympus Stylus 550WP (mju 550WP), Olympus OM System Tough TG-7 to decide whether you want this exact body, a cheaper nearby compact, or a slightly more capable alternative.
