I could have not asked for a better camera for my wife. She dropped it twice the first day.
There is so much packed into this point and shoot camera that you've got to sit down for about a half an hour to an hour and learn how to use it. It's not rocket science but there are some things you need to learn how to use. It does not really come with an instruction manual to speak of, so be prepared to play around a lot and have things not make sense at first. I've been looking at getting this camera for a while.
None of the buttons do anything, pressing the zoom and shutter controls doesn't move the lens or take pictures, and it even has trouble turning off. I'm abroad for the next 3 weeks and now have no camera for field marine organism ID sessions and measurements, or for personal photos for that matter, and can't do a damn thing about it until I'm back in the States. The Stylus tough 6020 really lives up to its name. I'm a fishing guide in New York state and in the late fall and winter months it's the only camera you can use do to the colder weather. Anyway, I waited hoped it would work after drying out. Then LCD screen would constantly turn on and off. So, save your money and either buy another brand or just rent an underwater camera at one of the drive shops. When I got the camera in the mail I took it with me on a fishing trip.
I carried that camera there for 19 months without a glitch. Every day it was in my cargo pocket ready for action no matter the environment, sand storms, cold, hot, dust, and it received its fair share of dents and scratches along the way. It has been about 3 months and now the camera won't even turn on. I'm sending it back to Olympus, we will see, I researched "Tough" Cameras for a few months before I made my purchase. There are so many more disappointing things about this camera that it's almost not worth typing. It's still not working after 2 months now.
Hey, if you have it on macro, of course the picture will be blurry, if you're taking a picture of the sunset...learn how the camera works before giving it a horrible review. The pictures come out great, as long as you have all the right settings.
I bought this camera to take on a trip to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park. Our itinerary included lots of hiking, kayaking and just outdoor activities in general. This camera has been dropped by a 3 year old on the concrete, used to snorkel under water, and caught some wonderful spur of the moment HD video. Let's just say if you have the correct setting, the photos are fantastic.
I wanted a camera to take in snorkeling and also one that I was not worried about getting wet if caught out in a rain shower. I have a Canon DSLR, but did not want to spend hundreds more for an underwater housing.
Also, night shooting seems to be sub-par, so just do not plan to use it for that. Word to the wise, get multiple batteries.

I think the majority of the bad reviews is caused by the average users basic knowledge of a camera, most people have no idea what half the settings are, or what they mean, so the bad picture quality, is their own fault. Garage Work Bench Plans.
