OM System Tough TG-7 Review
Perhaps the best-known rugged compact range around, Olympus' (now OM Systems') Tough series is now on its seventh iteration.
Compact and extremely rugged ; Impressive macro mode
Small buttons ; GPS drains battery life quickly
The OM System Tough TG-7 is never going to beat even an entry-level mirrorless camera on image performance (although its macro shooting is fantastic), but its durable and waterproof design means it can operate in places and situations that would...

OM System Tough TG-7
The OM System Tough TG-7 compact camera is built for adventuring: it can withstand water, freezing temperatures, shocks and dust. But none of that's any use if it can't take decent-quality photos and videos to begin with. We put this compact camera...

Hands on with the OM System Tough TG-7 rugged camera
The Tough TG-7 is the first rugged camera to wear the OM System name rather than Olympus. As you might have guessed, it's the seventh camera in the TG series, which has long been one of our favorites in the rugged/underwater space. The TG series has...
The OM System Tough TG-7 continues to be a capable underwater compact camera. Sure, it's been surpassed by smartphones in terms of image quality, but see what happens to your smartphone in 2 meters (about 7 feet) of water or if it's smashed against a...

OM System TG-7 Review
The OM-System TG-7 waterproof camera ($549.99) is its first since the Olympus rebranding. It offers minor updates over the older TG-6 ($499.99), including some cosmetic changes and USB-C charging, but it's otherwise the same camera. A 50-foot...
Rugged, waterproof pocket camera Bright F2.0 aperture at widest angle Large magnification for close-up focus Add-on lenses and flash modifiers available
Expensive Rear screen doesn't support touch Picture quality lags behind smartphones Underwhelming video features
The OM System TG-7 compact camera is waterproof and nearly indestructible, but dated tech and a sky-high price mean you should weigh other options.

OM System TG-7 Review
One area of the compact camera market has remained resilient against the all-consuming smartphone, and that's the rugged or “tough” sector. This kind of camera can be safely used in places that your smartphone would definitely perish in, giving you...
The TG-7 is a very modest, OM System branded upgrade of a long-standing series of tough cameras that really will withstand almost everything that you throw at it.o if you're off on the adrenalin-filled experience of a lifetime, or just want a camera...

OM System Tough TG-7 review
The OM System Tough TG-7, the latest in a long line of rugged cameras, is the first “tough” update since Olympus' imaging business was rebranded to OM System under OM Digital Solutions Corporation. Like its predecessors, the TG-7 targets outdoor...

OM System Tough TG-7 review: indestructable camera, impressive results
Yeah, that picture above? That's the OM System Tough TG-7 sitting in a glass of water. With a cat taking a drink, just for good measure. Why? Well, why not? After all, the camera is waterproof. I mean, seriously waterproof. Not waterproof like an...
+Virtually indestructible +GPS & field sensor functions +RAW images, 4K 30p video
Virtually identical to the TG-6
The OM System Tough TG-7 is by far the best tough camera on the market. The specs, however, are very deja vu, making this feel more like an update and less of an upgrade. Almost everything is as it was on the TG-6, so if you already own the previous...
