The TG-7 is built for the trips where bringing a camera at all feels risky — waterproof to 15m, freeze-proof to -10°C, shockproof from 2.1m, and crushproof to 100kgf. The 12MP 1/2.3-inch sensor won't match APS-C in low light, but the 4x optical zoom, dedicated macro mode, and GPS tagging are genuinely useful features that no other camera on this list offers. At $400, it's the only camera here you can take snorkeling without a housing.
Pros
- Waterproof to 15m, no housing needed
- GPS and altitude sensor built in
- Dedicated macro mode with 1cm close-focus distance
Cons
- Small sensor limits low-light performance
- 4x zoom range is modest compared to alternatives
