OM SYSTEMTough TG-7 Black Digital Camera, 12MP, Waterproof, Shockproof, Underwater and Macro Shooting Modes, high speed image sensor, 4K Video, 4x-wide-angle zoom (successor Olympus TG-6)

Excellent action camera. Picture quality is very good using both JPEG and RAW. Using RAW allows you to edit the photo in Photo Apps for even better results. Yet to test it under water but hopefully should be fine.

Bought this camera as I wanted to be able to take photo's under the water on holiday, and without the worry of getting sand or water into my smartphone.Of the photo's you take, it is down to the skill of the photographer being able to find the subject in the right clarity of the water with the right type of light coming through.If you can afford it and want to bring back photo's of under the water or out and about rugged adventures you have, I highly recommend this.I also bought the LG-1 light guide for very close Macro at home on dry land, for this it is very good also. Sure many phones can take fantastic is photos, but for the versatility of being able to enter in many environments and not worry about "need to keep it dry and protected".. with this, just go anywhere and shoot!Camera takes video though I didn't use it for much of this, when snorkelling in a tidal current trying to keep the camera still and follow the wildlife is a challenge. There are many settings, but it is also as easy as point and click. Camera can also shoot in RAW. The OM software that you can download to your smart phone means that when on holiday you can take the camera on adventures (without worry), and then download the pictures to your smartphone when back at your base camp (hotel!) -then you can share them with Friends and family from your phone as normal!Things I bought as part of this investment were the camera, the LG-1 LED light guide, the floating wrist band, the hard case and a memory card. I have photo's and video's now that I would not otherwise have (including video's of turtles, dolphins and underwater aquariums + family members swimming underwater)

Great camera

Excellent for ultra close-up photography, with great microscope function. Images are of surprisingly good quality for such a relatively small sensor. Rugged and waterproof features make it good value. Fills a gap in the crowded compact camera market.

i am very pleased with the new OM Tough TG-7. Although i have only had it a short time i have taken a number of pictures but have not yet subjected it to any degree to what it i expect to be using it for on my travels next year. It certainly has several impressive features once one delves beneath the normal controls and is remarkably easy to use although i have yet to try it with heavy gloves on etc. I recommend downloading the extensive manual - i have found that well laid out and very useful.In short i am very pleased with the results i have had so far and fully recommend it as a good buy - especially at the 'black friday' price i paid!

I've had this in my grubby paws for less than 24 hours and I think I am falling in love. Setting up the wireless connection with my phone was frustrating because it seemed to take time settling down to work, but it's now behaving and working seamlessly. This is my first encounter with a modern digital compact camera, from a digital DSLR, so I'm on a learning curve, but I am delighted with my progress thus far and the image quality, and I'm not even playing yet. I bought the TG-7 to use in my kayak and am very sure it's going to be just what I wanted, but am awaiting delivery of a camera float, though I reckon teaching it to swim is out. I have a new toy and I am very happy with it. I've included a couple of landscape shots I took to see how the optical zoom works, it works very well. At 74 I've been looking to move on from my DSLR for something more playful, I am pretty certain I've found it and it fits in my pocket as a go everywhere camera. Well done OM System and thanks.

Bought this for my holidays at Christmas with the all singing and dancing camera, mmmmmmm?In India on the second day we took the camera to the beach pool to take pictures of our children, used it in the pool then went to the beach and the zoom button kept jamming getting stuck then stopped moving, no camera for the rest of the holiday.At home Amazon replaced it for a new one, we are away now again with the new camerath3 same thing happened with the new one utterly useless.We looked online and to my amazement this is an inherent fault with all the tough models and OM has not done anything about it.Another holiday without another camera

Bought to replace my TG-4 which after many years of service something inside broke and the images became fuzzy. I have two cameras - one I call my proper camera (Nikon full frame) and this. This I carry with me all the time for use in shine or rain. I custom the settings. Ease of use, etc, excellent.A long time ago, a young friend asked why I have a pocket camera when my smart phone is also a camera. I suggested he put his smart phone in his pint of beer and I would do the same with TG. Then when we take them out, which one would still work. (experiment pre-dated waterproof smart phone.)
