Anyone have any experience with any of the Olympus Tough models? I picked up the TG-860 today for my hike down the Narrows but figured it'd be a good camera to keep on me for dirtbike rides too. Did I waste my money or are these cameras really waterproof, shockproof, crush proof, etc like they claim?

I have the TG-1 I think it's called. It's my second tough camera. I really like. Takes great pictures, HD video and geotagging (was very important for me). I had a Pentax tough one that lasted 2 years this one is going on 3 years. It's been dropped, in the mud and water, and even chewed on by out dog. Still is awesome!

My buddy had one (this is pre GoPro) and it was awesome. We took it on a JetSki trip up a muddy river and it survived some serious abuse.

I have two of them and have had fun with them in the water. I had one that I use all the time and then a couple of years ago I sent my kids off to Guatamala and Belize for a month and got them a new one to take so they could have fun with it in the rivers and shallow dives in Belize. They ended up in a hurricane and got evacuated back in to Belize City but not before the took a ton of pictures in the storm.
