There aren’t many compact cameras available to buy new any more, and what’s left are usually high-end, large-sensor cameras, or waterproof compact cameras with smaller sensors. The OM System Tough TG-7 falls into the latter category, and is the seventh iteration in a line of tough cameras first from Olympus, and now OM System.
The firm is quite serious about this tough compact camera. It has numerous controls and specialised shooting modes, and a wide range of accessories is available, too. You can shoot raw and adjust manual controls. To capture as much light as possible, there’s an f/2.0 aperture at the wideangle end of the lens.
While the TG-7’s sensor is small compared to Micro Four Thirds, APS-C, full-frame or 1-inch sensor cameras, it’ll withstand conditions that would destroy other models. It’s waterproof down to 15 metres, drop-proof, crush-proof, dustproof, and freeze-proof. And whilst it may look very similar to previous versions, this has advantages in the range of accessories available that work interchangeably between the models.
