OM SYSTEM Tough 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)

Great photographs. Good size and neat. Easy to use. Seems robust though haven’t tested its waterproof feature yet.

Lovely camera except there is no decent instructions on how to connect camera to Bluetooth and Wireless on smartphone

As I retired photographer I know how important it is to carry a camera around all the time ‘just in case’ that photo opportunity of a lifetime comes along. I also know I don’t want to be lugging heavy lumps of kit around. This camera is pretty much all I need. It’s rugged enough for me to throw in pockets, suitcases and backpacks. At 12mp the picture quality is good enough for most things. Battery life is good and it charges pretty quickly. There are enough functions on the camera to enable me to enjoy taking pictures without getting sidetracked. It’s certainly waterproof and is surviving the winter weather with no tantrums. Value for money is goo, especially when you compare it to the competition from other top manufacturers. I would recommend it if anyone asked.

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)

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.

nice little rugged camera, great picture in RAW for just 12MP sensor

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!

Careful! The instruction booklet that comes with the device is all written in Japanese, and unless you can read this language there is going to be a lot of hassle trying to set it up. I've pretty much given up on it. Very poor service for the price.
