Pros & Cons

Pros

The tg-7 is the best point-and-shoot camera i ever have. It's more than enough for social media and photo sharing sites. If you really want a point and shoot camera this is the one.

It really is ruggedly built for more adventurous use. I just feel like its going to stand up too a beating when i go hiking and slide down a hill or trip and faceplate in a stream. It is very sturdy and i love all the double locking doors.

Tg-7 has a new 3 tft screen. Usb-c port can be used for charging the battery and/or transferring images. The battery is the same as that taken by the tg-6. The grip has been redesigned and has a rougher, more grip like finish to it.

Olympus tg-7 is a huge step up. My only complaint outside of no booklet is would be nice if it came with a little case to carry it. But this can usually be corrected with software. Easy to transfer to my pc, too.

It's easier to use than the gopro in a photo function, but they kind of even out in terms of video. It has many menu settings that i recognize from my pentax kp dslr camera. I use the manual setting so that i can adjust iso, shutter speed, and apertur...  Read More



Cons

Without a shutter priority or manual mode this is apparently impossible to achieve. The ergonomics of this camera are very non-user friendly. I have to constantly be ejecting the card and plugging it into an adapter to my pc with the tg-6.

You have to use a stabilizer of some kind and the video quality is very poor. The combination of salt water and anti-glare coating is the salt water will dissolve the coating. I hope olympus will do something about this.

Quality


These really are the best pointandshoot cameras for underwater and heavy duty use hands down


It is very sturdy and i love all the double locking doors securing the ports and keeping water out


Go through one a year auto starts to fail and pics become less clear and refined


The camera has auto program p and aperture a standard modes and in addition scenes macro underwater mode which all have sub mod...  Read More

Price


Best bang for buck in my opinion in this price range


So it you can get last years model cheaper it might be worth it to save some money


If you want better it will cost you 2 to 3 times this price

Shipping


The day this camera got delivered at my front door a rough thunderstorm came through and i put this om system tough tg7 camera to the test

Packaging/appearance


The full manual isnt included with the package and it took an email to customer service to get a copy i could download as it do...  Read More

Competitiveness


Plus this is very similar to previous iterations of this camera so there’s a host of resources for the tg6 and others


This will not compete with an apsc or fullframe body at all


There are jsut too many places that i am not going to risk my nikon and expensive lenses or my expensive phone


All in all though ill stick with the brand and hope they do better on the rest
