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

I bought this mostly for macros on land and for an occasional water excursion. I loved it but moved up to larger macro gear so I sold it to a friend. I missed it as its so portable and allows me to take macros without my larger gear or if I am traveling light so I bought it again. Its an amazing little camera with multiple settings options, is waterproof and is super rugged for any wildlife/outdoor adventure. With a little tweaking of settings, you can get some amazingly close photos of little things and its alot of fun to play with. The battery life is good but once the battery dies, there is no warning, it just dies so keep a spare on you at all times. I added some photos of land macros I took using this camera combined with the FD-1 flash. If you want to get into macro but don't want to spend a fortune, this is a great choice and I love all the OM Systems products as they are quality and a good value for the money

I bought this nice little camera for everyday carry. I have high end DSLR and mirrorless cameras along with pro lenses from Nikon and Olympus, so I'm not expecting this little guy to beat those other cameras out in image quality. This is a small, rugged, and waterproof camera that can be put in a pocket and exposed to harsh environments. It takes pretty good pictures and video. I partially LOVE the macro modes. I bought the guide light and silicone jacket accessories for it. With focus stacking and the guide light this little guy is very fun to explore the smaller things all around us. Put it in one of the scene modes or leave it in full auto to take photos of events, landscapes, people, etc. Again, it won't beat out its big brothers, but is excellent for everyday carry. As the old saying goes: the best camera is the one you have with you. Some would argue that a cellphone fits this space better. I disagree. This thing is cheaper than the high end cellphones, is more durable (both shock and waterproof), it has advanced computational photography features, and it has a whole ecosystem of accessories. I like the GPS features to include compass, altitude, and temperature. You can geo tag your photos and videos. You can also shoot in RAW format and import your pictures to your favorite photo editor. The free OM Workspace works just fine. Finally, the camera connects easily to the free OI.Share app on your phone so you can send your photos there to share with others. I love this little camera.

Got this for a trip to Central America so we would have something durable and water resistant. I've had past Olympus tough cameras and was happy with them - this model continues that trend. The camera is highly durable surviving bangs and bumps on rocks, trees, floors, etc. It did well in water (swimming with sharks, boating, on the beach, river rafting, etc) and on land. Battery life was fine (I supplemented it with some additional third party batteries just to ensure I had enough power). Picture quality is good to excellent depending on your expectations and the conditions around you. The video function works really well and we got some great videos with the camera as well. Overall a fun camera with great functionality and great photo and video abilities.

I already own OM System OM-5, so setting up and operating this camera was very straight forward. Using it underwater was a different story. I primarily bought this camera to take pictures and videos underwater while snorkeling. While it held up without a waterproof case at shallow depths, the camera was extremely difficult to use as the LCD screen is fairly small and not that bright. Framing shots was a real challenge - while I could clearly see fish when not looking at the camera, it was really difficult to see anything on the LCD. Using a tray would have helped keeping the camera steady, but aiming and framing would still be an issue. The picture quality is okay, do not expect miracles as the camera sensor is only 12MP. In fact, underwater I got better results using my Samsung S22 in a waterproof case. Due to small sensor size, there is not a whole lot of room when it comes to cropping for those situations when you cannot get close enough to your subject, which is typical when capturing wildlife. I also found that keeping the horizon level is not that easy despite having the level indicator on the LCD, since the camera itself is so small. Finally, durability is a suspect, as one corner already has a scratch now after single use (see the photo).

This camera has a number of important features but perhaps its most distinguishing one is that it is capable of underwater photography. However, for those who purchase it for that purpose, it is important to know that it is also a full featured camera with most of the controls and adjustments of a typical DSLR or mirrorless interchangeable lens camera. Be aware this is not a one button, unadjustable point and shoot camera. Some level of basic photographic "know how" is advantageous. Because of its small size, some users may also find some of the controls difficult to access and/or hard to see in low light or in limited visibility underwater and through a facemask. That said if adjusted properly and used expertly it is capable of taking excellent underwater pictures and videos.

Nice camera. Easy to carry everywhere which makes it great for street photography. Love that it is waterproof and usable in all weather.

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!

Can't do no stars - as how can I review a product that never worked?! Terrible and incredibly disappointing. Didn't even get to use this camera once. As a waterproof camera, I would expect it to be okay on the surface of water. Snorkeled out to a spot and found it had flooded before I even used it the first time. Not even one picture. Spent money on a carrying case, a new SIM card, and a float for it, only to find the "waterproof" camera wasn't. Took the video immediately upon coming home. Opened the "waterproof" battery compartment to find it FILLED with water - I had already drained some, but decided to video the remainder as proof. Also took a picture of the lens, which you can see is flooded and totally ruined. Piece of junk. Nothing but disappointed over this waste of money and time. Add to that the fact that I had to pay $50 to ship it back? I have to pay to have never had a camera to use. AWFUL. Guess I'll buy a GoPro instead, much as I was trying to avoid that.

Llevo un poco más de un mes utilizándola como mi cámara principal llevándola a todos lados y ha funcionado muy bien, puedes trasferir las fotos o videos a cualquier dispositivo con la aplicación de OI Share. La he usado principalmente para tomar fotos ocasionales en cualquier lugar que me llame la atención, además de que el archivo real te permite procesarlo para edición sin perder calidad. Lo único que les recomendaría es que tengan en cuenta que es una cámara cuyo sensor funciona mejor en ambientes con suficiente iluminación, cuando hay poca luz la imagen puede llegar a verse más granulada y menos nítida.

This camera is great. Excellent lens and great durability. Just pay attention to the depth of water proof: 15 meters.

I like this one. Have used it for macro photography and got some great results. Took it to Indonesia for underwater photography and video and the results were pretty good for something at this price. It is difficult to see what you’re shooting underwater on the small screen - but point and shoot and hope for the best.

Super appareil livraison et emballage parfait

Good build quality. Well insulated against salt water. Reasonable picture quality. Very good small diving camera overall.
