Olympus Tough TG-7 Waterproof Camera

15-meter waterproof compact camera with f/2.0 lens (fastest in category), Microscope mode, and dedicated underwater scene modes.
The Olympus Tough TG-7 is the most photographer-capable underwater compact ever made. The f/2.0 aperture is the fastest of any waterproof compact camera โ most competitors top out at f/2.8 โ which means noticeably more light on the sensor in the dimly-lit conditions that describe most interesting underwater environments. The macro system produces close-focus images of nudibranchs, small fish, and coral polyps that look like they were taken with a dedicated macro lens. At 15 meters depth rating it handles recreational snorkeling and free diving. The physical button layout works well with wet hands.
Pros
- f/2.0 lens โ fastest aperture in the waterproof compact category
- Microscope mode for extreme close-up underwater subjects
- Best-in-class still image quality for a waterproof compact
Cons
- 15-meter depth limit (vs 30m for Nikon W300)
- Video quality trails the GoPro significantly
