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

I really love this camera. I bought this camera for a Mediterranean cruise I was taking. I wanted something small enough that I can carry around in a small crossbody bag, but would still tae high quality photos. This camera did just that! The pictures all came out great! I even enjoyed taking underwater pictures with this camera being waterproof. I used the camera in salt water and had to rinse it in fresh water afterwards since the buttons (and specifically the zoom toggle) would get slightly stuck. I didn’t get very good low light photos, but also don’t know enough about the different settings to try to make it work. The zoom is decent, it zooms enough without making the picture too blurry, but not as much as a larger camera might. Overall this camera was perfect for what I needed, and I now take it on every trip with me!

I'm super impressed with this camera. I use it during inspections for work and it's fantastic in that regard. It has two "construction" settings that you can program with specific parameters depending on the situation -- like indoor/outdoor. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants a true point and shoot that will actually get the shot. Your reports will look a lot better. And it won't break when you inevitably drop it from a roof.

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...

It takes a little time to learn because it has a lot of settings, but it’s perfect for adventure trips. I used my OM System TG-7 underwater in the ocean and also recorded videos, and everything turned out great. The best part is that I didn’t use any extra waterproof case or protection… just the camera itself. As long as you make sure both covers/ports are properly sealed, you shouldn’t have anything to worry about.

These really are the best point-and-shoot cameras for underwater and heavy duty use, hands down. They are worth every penny! For Diving/Snorkeling - the pictures are fantastic out of the camera, but the buttons are too small for gloved hands and the camera is only good to 50'. So, make sure to get the Olympus brand Waterproof Case and a neoprene/floatie strap (the Olympus strap is crap, but it is "a strap"). The other Waterproof Case brands are not good enough, the Olympus fits properly and works every time if you do your part and follow the directions. For industrial work environments these are (again) excellent! I have several Olympus Tough cameras spanning quite a few years and they out-last all the other ones. They can be killed, they are not cockroaches, but it takes a good sized drop or serious effort to do so. So far, even with the worst mishap, the SD card survives every time at the very least. Highly recommended all around.

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.

Seems to be a good camera but I can't seem to figure out how to use it. There are no instructions and my frustration level is ready to return this and get my Pentax. I don't see panoramic, or time lapse on this one and if I can't figure this out in the next day or so, I'm returning it. 500 for something I can't use is not in my budget.

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.

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.

Really good camera a little better than the TG6 But I prefer the focus on the TG6

Ainda aprendendo a lidar com a câmera. Objetivo são as fotos subaquáticas. Comprar a caixa estanque é essencial.

Bel appareil mais qui fait l'impasse sur le petit sac de transport. Après quelques usages, le zoom en vidéo est un carnage sonore dans l’enregistrement. Il faut choisir si zoom ou pas et le faire avant de filmer.

Very good camera, lots of control for professional images. It is tough. The TG-6 had bits that would crack off, this one doesn't so far (6 months.)
