Just a word of caution - goggle lens flare aka pink spot with Tough cameras. Unfortunately Olly tough cameras are particularly susceptible to this phenomenon.
You need to work around this when it happens (similar to all camera that show lens flare). However, if you want to have a camera for a quick one click to capture a shot, you can be disappointed to have a spoiled photo later. Frustrating particularly if it was a unique one opportunity shot or there is no way to easily reposition, etc., to minimise or avoid.
Also, the pink spot can be very subtle when outside during post shot viewing on the screen (assuming you can see it at all in bright light conditions) and for me often missed in field only to be clearly seen later on pc.
BTW I’ve had Olly Tough cameras for over 10 years, have currently the 6, and they are really very good and versatile capable cameras all round. A previous one had to regularly put up with a lot of “abuse” with weather and never failed in all the years I had it. Current one is equally reliable.
I have no hesitation in recommending the camera, but only if one accepts the pink spot phenomenon and that there can be times when a shot is lost due to the lens flare.
