Olympus Tough TG-7 Digital Camera (Red)

The OM SYSTEM Tough TG-7 Digital Camera has become an indispensable part of my overlanding gear. Its rugged construction—waterproof up to 50 feet, shockproof from 7 feet, and freezeproof down to 14°F—means I can confidently use it in various challenging environments without worry. ​OM SYSTEM | Olympus+2UW Photography Guide+2Treeline Review+2The camera's macro capabilities are exceptional, allowing me to capture detailed shots of wildlife and nature. Its 4K video recording ensures high-quality footage for my content creation needs. ​While the image quality may not match that of high-end DSLRs, the TG-7's durability and versatility make it a top choice for anyone needing a reliable camera in the field.

Beat my expectations. I was unsure of how clear the pictures would turn out but they were amazing. We spent a week in Kauai and I took this snorkeling with me every day. The zoom capability really impressed me. If you are able to hold still enough the pictures are very clear and everything looks so close.

It really is super small and compact. I went with the super bright red option because I will be using this primarily for scuba diving underwater photography and videos. I am a little concerned with the battery life so far as it runs down fast even when not in use or while flipping through the screen options. I dislike the battery compartment and find it super easy to insert the battery the wrong way. A person must buy multiple batteries I believe to stay completely satisfied and the OM battery charger sold separately is a wise investment as well. The battery door and USPC compartments are a little flimsy as well. The image quality is very good, and it is a fairly easy camera to operate. I have only taking it diving 4 times since I purchased it and it seems pretty sturdy and tough. Overall, I would recommend this camera to anyone who doesn't want to invest too much in heavy weight, lenses, and needs a good compact camera for basic photography purposes.

I love this camera. It’s fabulous for macro photography. I use might specifically for scuba diving. The built in flash is nice to have as I want this to be nice and compact. The Wi-Fi download is nice and pretty fast. It’s very easy to use and self explanatory set up.

Worth every penny. Have a new grandbaby and she is loving the pool. Quality is excellent. So far it has worked our perfect for the water.

Only had this about 2 months and had very high hopes for it. I will say that the macro and microscope feature is (was I should say) awesome and takes amazing up close shots. My issue with it is that is developed this purple glow directly in the center of the image and also causes it to become blurry. I am very familiar with cameras and the lens is clean, proper lighting with photos. The blurry purple spot also takes up about half the image with the use of microscope mode and a quarter with photo stacking mode. This camera has never been dropped or wet and has been treated like a high end camera. I was hoping to replace my big camera in the field with this for fungi taxonomy projects but looks like this will not be the case. Have to now send this back in for them to repair or replace. I bought this as a friend has one and has had no issues so I believe it might be a great camera but maybe just my bad luck of getting one with issues.

I had used a TG-3 for almost 10 years in all kinds of harsh industrial environments and can attest that it was indeed "tough", but it did not survive a fall from a 10 ft. ladder onto concrete.The TG-7 seems like a very significant improvement and all the TG-3 accessories (flash diffuser, ring light, lenses) still work with the TG-7. The new camera feels a little heavier but much more solid, has better grips, and a better zoom level. The camera "modes" are a little different but I have yet to check them all out. Having two "custom" modes is a nice touch.The improvements in the photo viewer are many and much appreciated. The calendar view is awesome!I am not a water sports guy so I never had my TG-3 under water, and doubt that I'll ever have the TG-7 under water either -- it's just too nice a camera to take a chance with, at least for me.I can't speak to the photo quality yet, but for my use in an industrial setting, functionality is a lot more important than having the absolute best quality photos.I will update this review as I learn more about the new camera. But for now I can 100% recommend this camera if you need rock solid performance and durability.

Amazing quality and super durable. It’s the best camera for traveling and adventures.
