OM SYSTEM Olympus Tough TG-7 Black Underwater Camera, Waterproof, Freeze Proof, High Resolution Bright, 4K Video 44x Macro Shooting (Successor Olympus TG-6)

Solid waterproof point & shoot camera
This is like a classic point-and-shoot digital camera, the kind that were popular in 20 years ago. They made it ruggedly waterproof and updated it a bit with more modern technology, so it can shoot high quality video, it can do burst mode at a very high speed to capture rapid action, but the sensor size is the same size as a cell phone camera, so don’t expect it to deliver much better low-light performance than a good phone camera. This does outperform my phone in terms of being waterproof, with double-locking hatches for where you’d connect cables or insert batteries or memory cards. It also has a much bigger, more powerful flash than a phone, and a true optical zoom lens instead of a system of multiple cameras on the back. If you take this on vacation because you want to use it while snorkeling, you might well use it for a variety of other travel photos as well.Compared to using a GoPro or other action camera to take pictures when you’re in and around water, then this has some big advantages: Instead of an extremely wide-angle fixed-focus lens as you’d find on an action camera, this has an optical zoom lens that takes pictures in an ordinary range of focal lengths, from somewhat wide angle into a moderate telephoto range. Combined with the option to shoot raw images (so you can adjust them more after shooting, using a program like Lightroom) and optional manual controls, you can get nice still images out of this that look different from what you could get with an action camera. Of course, this is bigger than an action camera, although it’s still pocketable and highly portable if you tie it to something. This does have a lot of buttons, options, and controls, so it’s a good idea to look through at what the controls do before you’re out snorkeling with it, because there are a lot of buttons to futz with in adjusting it.Compared to a camera with a bigger sensor or interchangeable lenses, the only big advantages are size, weight, water resistance, and possibly its speed in burst mode. But the water resistance alone makes this more useful on some vacations than higher priced travel cameras like famous the Sony rx100 line, even if this lacks the larger sensor of an rx100.

They finally got it right…
The OM SYSTEM Tough TG-7 Black has finally got it right. I’ve owned all previous models of the Olympus TG 1-6 Tough cameras and this version finally fix my main concern. Previous models always had a clicking sound when filming n video and muffled out when zooming. The TG7 does not do that and has made me extremely satisfied. Overall this is a great all around camera, as it’s tough as the name says. Granted i’ve never dropped a previous versions nor do I plan on dropping this one but it’s made tough. Easy to use and functionality is super simple. Always better to carry a universal camera and not always drain your phone battery. You can charge additional batteries and have expandable memory. It’s waterproof and takes great micro-photos… the microscope mode is what I enjoy best about this camera. Great product and great price… best medium range compact camera. 5 Stars from Us…

Great pictures , very durable.
This is the second Olympus camera that I have purchased. I used it daily for business and it really gets beat up from drops and use.Very durable, easy to use and great pictures.

Aún cuando no he aprovechado todas sus características, esta cámara se siente sólida y la calidad excelente.Desde hace años Olympus ha sido “mi cámara”. Ahora se llama “OM System”, pero para mí nada ha cambiado, además del nombre. Sé que entre los profesionales no es la primera elección, pero para mí ha sido excelente.

I have had the camera for only a few weeks. It has a lot of features, and I am not familiar with very many of them yet, but I will keep learning in the coming weeks. So far I am very satisfied.
