The Tough TG-7 is perfect for photographers who are looking for a small but extremely robust camera - for holidays on the ski slopes and by the pool or for documentation on the construction site. However, they have to make compromises in terms of features and image quality. In dim light, the image sharpness decreases significantly. The TG-7 also lacks a viewfinder and the display is fixed.

The update from version TG-6 to TG-7 brought minor improvements. The camera is currently available in this new form. Its quadruple zoom lens offers plenty of creative freedom.

The camera was included in the test for comparison. Takes similarly good underwater photos as a smartphone in a diving case. However, it does not quite come close to the camera performance of premium smartphones. The camera's good handling and its optical zoom lens, which provides more resolution for telephoto shots in case of doubt, speak in its favour...

The concept of the OM System Tough TG-7 makes the camera special: it is perfect for photographers who are looking for a small but extremely robust camera - for holidays on the ski slopes and by the pool or for documentation on the construction site. On the other hand, they have to make slight compromises in terms of image quality, especially in dim light where the sharpness of the image decreases significantly...
