5.0 out of 5 stars They finally got it right...

B.".L. · April 10, 2024

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...

5.0 out of 5 stars Takes great pictures.

Bought this camera to replace my TG-850 which turned out to be not so tough. Minor submersion to film Manatee's turned out to be that camera's demise. So the TG-7 works similarly, but some of the special shooting modes are more difficult to set. The old camera had art and diorama modes easily accessible but the TG-7 is more difficult to set in those modes, but they are available. You can also custom set 2 shooting modes in to the shooting mode dial, but I have yet to figure that out. I just got the camera before a 10 day trip to Utah and came back with a lot of rock formation pictures. I have not had the opportunity to check out the waterproofness yet, but I am also somewhat gun-shy given my experience with the TG-850. All in all, the camera performed well.

4.0 out of 5 stars About as good as a point-and-shoot format can get

I've been a big fan of Olympus for quite some time, and I have quite a bit of micro 4/3ds stuff from the Pen series cameras. I needed a tough camera for work, as I'm often in wet and nasty locations taking photos for insurance claims.After dropping my Pen E-P5 lens down into a puddle of sewage on the concrete, destroying about $1,000 worth of glass, I realized that I cannot afford to keep using my good camera for dirty work. This one fits the bill. Not only is it designed to be drop resistant, waterproof and tough, but it has most of the control features I like about my mirrorless camera, in a point-and-shoot body. The camera has a fairly wide angle lens, and even better still, can accept adapters to give me even more flexibility. I added a screen protector, silicone cover and an aftermarket .45x wide-angle adapter, and the whole package cost me less than the lens I broke in the first place.The camera has built in GPS, which is nice to have when photographing scenes that may later be introduced in court as evidence, it produces good-quality video, and has a pretty decent zoom range, and great macro focus capabilities right out of the box.Add the fact you can go swimming with it and take photos underwater without an external case, and I'm pretty much set.It has remote software you can install on your phone or tablet, and you can download the images wirelessly, use the camera in live view mode and control the zoom from your phone.There's some downsides to it, as it doesn't integrate well with my estimating software, so I can't take photos and import them directly, which slows the workflow some, but the quality of the photos is outstanding and it's worth the extra bit of work.The software that goes with this has another big drawback, in that it only lets you register one camera at a time with the software - so if you own multiple Olympus products, you have to 'deregister' one with the software to use the other, and that requires setting up the wifi and Bluetooth connections all over again.The full manual isn't included with the package, and it took an email to customer service to get a copy I could download, as it doesn't even appear for this model on the Olympus website.I think Olympus has a fantastic product, and they continue to improve it, but once they release it, they seem to neglect all the other things that make the product really useable for their customers. All in all, though, I'll stick with the brand, and hope they do better on the rest.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Everyday Carry Camera

A. · October 13, 2023

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.

Tough! Drop it, it will be OK.

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.)

Solide et rapide

Parfait pour mettre dans la poche - photos de qualité - démarrage un peu lent

¡Excelente cámara!

O.C. · April 26, 2024

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.

TG-7 is Robust! Best Point n Shoot Camera for learning and young Children!

d.g. · September 10, 2024

Robust. Good Point n Shoot camera for learners. Thanks to the USB charging in TG-7. I wish a lens cover should have been supplied. I could not find in the market a suitable lens cover. Average image quality! I have DSLR and Mirrorless both. But I was looking for one suitable for my growing daughter. After reading many reviews for Sony RX100 VII and canon g7x mark III. I finally decided on this OM TG 7! Great for young learners! But it's too pricey without the lens covers and no charging adaptor. So we manage with the USB charger. I bought one cover pouch and one SDXC card and good to go. Wifi/ Bluetooth / USB connectivity is good. Easy to transfer images to mobile/ laptop.

Really good camera

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