I have owned a few Tough TG models and have been extremely impressed at their performance and durability. I use TGs in combination with my OMDEM1X. Obviously the OMDEM1X is a more complex camera, yet the TG is great for straightforward underwater, fun star trail images, and some macro work. My expectations are high, but reasonable, that this TG7 will be an excellent addition to my OM equipment.

I have very capable modern cameras, and I also use an older DSLR with a phenomenal lens. Each of my cameras is for a different shoot and this is where the TG-7 comes in. It takes a while to go over all the settings and understand what each of them does, but once that’s under the belt, this is a capable point and shoot that’s at home in water, rain, snow, and sun. I didn’t buy this camera to use indoors, or for portraits, as it’s just not designed for that niche, but the niche it was designed for is captured well. The resulting photos are very good, and I especially like the GPS function and log. The macros are exceptionally good and, as a camera you can just throw in your pocket, along with a more powerful device, you’ve got all bases covered. My FUJIFILM X-100VI is weather resistant, but certainly not to the extent this one is. So, I’ll tote along the TG-7 and all bases are covered. My only gripe is that it’s a 10Mp camera and in 2026 it ought to be have at least 16 to 20Mp. But, having said that, I know the limitations of print size and as I shoot in RAW I’m good with it.
