A secluded beach. A trip to the zoo. The kids trying out new snowboards. Active lifestyles generate great photo ops – and there”s no better camera for capturing these special moments than the new TG-850. It”s super-rugged and waterproof, yet stylish enough for less “extreme” pursuits – like documenting your daughter”s first lacrosse goal.
