Olympus Tough TG-7 Digital Camera (Red)

Took this on a vacation to Belize. Was glad it was as durable as indicated as it was dropped and bumped around a lot. I used the auto, underwater and macro settings quite a bit. I was very happy with the quality of the images. I only wish it had a written manual. Having to refer to on online PDF that is over 100 pages to figure out the functions was a drag with the limited access to internet on my trip. Batter life is good as long as you don't use the zoom a lot. That seems to eat up the battery. Not the best zoom on a camera I ever had but the macro, panoramic, underwater capabilities made up for that. Can't wait to take it on more trips!

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.

I've been using this line of cameras for a decade now for home inspections. Photo quality is great, has more features than I'd ever need, it's compact, and it just works. Most importantly, it can take a licking and keep on ticking. This camera is with me every day, taking several hundred photos, climbing over hot roofs, through dusty attics, through dirty crawlspaces, getting banged around, and leading a generally rough life. If you need a sturdy camera that delivers, can't go wrong with this.

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.

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...

Easy to use and makes crystal clear digital photos.

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.
