OM System Tough TG-7 Waterproof Camera

The TG-7 is the camera you take where a phone would not survive. Waterproof to 15m without a housing, shockproof from 2.1m, freezeproof to -10C and crushproof to 100kg, with a 12MP backside-illuminated CMOS sensor behind a 25-100mm equivalent lens that opens to F2.0 at the wide end - unusually fast for a rugged compact, and the reason it still works in a swim-through or under forest canopy.

Microscope mode focuses to 1cm and keeps zooming from there, which is what makes it a genuine field-macro tool for insects, lichen and mineralogy rather than a snapshot camera. Built-in GPS, compass and manometer log where and how deep, and it records C4K and Full HD video. USB-C, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for transfer and remote control. Black finish.
