The Tough TG-7 is OM Systems' rugged compact, built to survive drops, dust, freezing cold and dives to 15 m without a housing. It pairs a 12 MP 1/2.33-inch CMOS sensor with a 25-100 mm f/2.0-4.9 lens, 4x optical zoom and a 3-inch screen, plus RAW capture, GPS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Its real edge over ordinary compacts is the macro system: microscope and focus-stacking modes get within a centimeter of a subject, and underwater modes correct color as you descend. Reviewers rate it highly for toughness and macro work but note the small sensor limits low-light image quality and the video tops out at 1080p.

Owners praise the TG-7 as a take-anywhere camera that survives saltwater, sand and drops, and they single out its macro modes. Criticism centers on image quality in dim light and the lack of 4K video.
The OM Systems Tough TG-7 is a compact digital camera built for outdoor and underwater use.
The lens covers a 25 to 100 mm focal length with 4x optical zoom, and image stabilization is built in. Autofocus uses contrast detection, and the camera has face detection.
Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and GPS are built in, and the camera can be controlled from an app. A 3-inch rotatable screen is used for framing and playback. The camera charges over USB-C and records to SD, SDHC and SDXC cards.
