After four year's since the Olympus TG-6 was released, OM Systems has finally released the latest version of the highly popular Olympus camera, namely the OM System (Olympus) TG-7.

The much anticipated Olympus TG-7 takes on the same looks and feel as the previous iterations of the camera, with some minor differences, mainly internal. The positive side of this, is that the latest TG-7 will fit inside many of the housings made for the Olympus TG-6.

The Olympus TG-7 is waterproof to an astonishing 50 feet (15 meters). This camera remains fully operational down to a bone-chilling 14°F or -10°CA and is built tough, as it's shockproof against falls from 7 feet or 2.1 meters , as well as being crushproof and scratchproof.

The Olympus TG-7 boasts a 12MP back-illuminated 1/2.3-inch sensor, just like its predecessor. Complementing this is the versatile 4.5-18.0mm lens (equivalent to 25-100mm in full-frame terms) with an aperture ranging from f/2.0 to f/4.9. Performing similarly to it's predecesors, macro enthusiasts will be pleased to know that the microscopic mode transforms this camera into a great macro shooter, focusing as close as 10mm from your subject and offering 7x magnification.

For underwater video fundi's, this camera will shoot 4K video, but it is probably best to remain on the more preferred 1080/60p in order to be able to slow down footage and not lose quality. The upside to this camera is the ability to shoot video in microscope mode, capturing macro objects with great accuracy.

When it comes to battery life, the camera is rated to shoot 330 shots on a full charge. Although not the worst performer, it is recommended to stock up on some extra batteries when doing multi-tank dives.
