TG-7 Black

This is a very rugged and dependable all-weather, compact camera. While best for underwater macro, this camera given its compact size and rugged construction is useful as a backup (depending on shooting standards) for tough hikes or rough/rainy weather when heavier cameras/lenses would not be as practical. I've also used this lens underwater with the fisheye converter. This camera is best (as advertised) for macro photography. For wide-angle photography, picture quality (obviously) isn't at the level of a premium OM camera/lens combination like the OM I Mark II/8mm f/1.8 fisheye, auto-focus is also slower and more limited, but that is to be expected considering the small camera sensor size. Camera takes decent video but probably best as a back-up option when paired with a GoPro or premium camera/lens combination.

I loved the macro camera quality it has it’s extremely rugged I having being using it to remove pictures in the intertidal region one flaw which I have noticed is that with time the zone in and zoom buttom gets stuck with time I have been also dipping it in fresh water after it comes in contact with seawater rather than that it works perfectly fine it’s a must recommend product

I bought this as an upgrade to a previous older model I have and have enjoyed using this on all sorts of get away trips. The reason I have the camera is for all sorts of general types of photography including hiking in rough areas and underwater shooting. This particular camera has proven to be the best of all the cameras for the type of photography I like to do. Very happy with this one.

Windows are NOT self evident and referencing the owner's manual is work to sift through on line. Definitely thought it would be more user friendly, or would not have purchased.....

Very durable and versitle camera for my uses. I am in construction and an avid hiker/outdoors enthusiast. I have used this camera now for a couple years and can't wait for the new version to come out this fall hopefully. For construcion it does whats needed for documentaion and is reliable in all conditions. The screen could use a little move brightness in sunlight but that's minor compared to the features that are packed into this camera. The macro functions lets me document the details well.

I bought this primarily with underwater photography in mind. I also bought the underwater housing for it. I previously had an underwater camera that failed while snorkelling in the Galápagos Islands. The OM System underwater housing is insurance against failure. I have not used the camera yet, but judging from high quality build, I expect the camera will perform well.

Compact and very good. Ease to use and the images are amazing

I purchased the TG-7 for my grandson RJ for his trip to Europe next month. He loves it! He is practicing taking photos with it now and is very excited at what the camera can do. Macro, Zoom, and all the other settings he can use. I also had the TG-6 on my travels and I loved it.

I purchased an OM SYSTEM Tough TG-7 because of its reputation as a rugged, dependable camera. Unfortunately, my ownership experience has been the complete opposite. The camera has required repairs far more often than I ever expected for a product marketed as durable. What has been even more disappointing than the repeated equipment failures has been the customer service experience. Over the course of dealing with OM SYSTEM customer support and the Canadian service centre, communication has been slow, inconsistent, and frustrating. Getting updates on repairs has often required repeated follow-ups, and responses have not inspired confidence that customer concerns are being taken seriously. Instead of feeling supported, I have felt like I had to chase information every step of the way. When you invest in a premium camera, you expect not only reliable equipment but also responsive after-sales support when something goes wrong. In my experience, neither expectation has been met. Multiple repairs, extended downtime, and poor communication have made ownership far more stressful than enjoyable. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend the TG-7 or OM SYSTEM's Canadian customer support and service network. I hope the company improves both its product reliability and the way it communicates with customers during the repair process. ---- Comments from OM SYSTEM: We are sorry to hear about your experiences with both the TG-7 and the support center. We have forwarded your comments to our Support Team leads for further evaluation.

Just starting, but good all around camera and I enjoy the weather resistance. The great thing for me is the GPS logging system. Great to add to finished hikes at the correct location. Had to buy the telephoto attachment, but did not enjoy buying the lens mount at too high of a cost (didn’t want to buy the knock-offs). Lots of features I haven’t used yet. But so far, so good.
