olympus tg 5 waterproof camera with 3 inch lcd red quotation

Built for adventure. Designed to bring back amazing looking souvenirs. The Tough TG-5 is packed with pro features that help you nail bright, crisp outdoor shots even in challenging conditions. You’ll find imaging firepower that’s optimized for shooting action like a fast F2.0 Olympus lens, high-resolution RAW stills, and spectacular Ultra HD 4K video. Action Track Sensors record location, temperature, direction, and altitude data that bring your images and video to life. As with all Tough cameras, it’s waterproof, shockproof, crushproof, freezeproof, and dustproof. No other camera handles so much abuse while producing stunning photography like the TG-5.

Whether you’re shooting on a rafting trip or in a snowboard park, you’re focused on getting awesome shots. Your camera should take care of itself. The TG-5 does – no protective housing needed. It’s waterproof to 50 ft (15 m), crushproof up to 220 lbf (100 kgf), and shockproof from 7 ft (2.1 m). It’s dustproof and works great even at a bone-chilling 14°F (-10°C). When you’re on the go, temperatures can change quickly. That’s why the TG-5’s lens is equipped with Anti-Fog Dual Pane Protective Glass to stop moisture from getting in. We’ve even designed the knobs and buttons for easy operation while you’re wearing heavy gloves.

The TG-5"s ergonomic design features an Accessory Lock to secure optional lenses and other accessories. The waterproof TCON-T01 Teleconverter Lens boosts the TG-5’s optical zoom to nearly 7x, while the waterproof FCON-T01 Fisheye Converter Lens produces distinctive ultra-wide photos. Shoot evenly lit macro shots with help from the LG-1 Light Guide and waterproof FD-1 Flash Diffuser. Keep your TG-5 conveniently strapped to a backpack or chest harness using the CSCH-123 Sport Holder, and dive deeper – up to 147 feet (45 meters) – using the PT-058 Underwater Housing.

The Olympus TG-5 is a brand new tough compact digital camera designed to capture images in the most challenging conditions. Successor to the TG-4, the new TG-5 has a 12-megapixel backlit CMOS sensor, an improved 25-100mm (eq.) f/2.0-4.9 lens with a new Anti-Fog Lens Cover Glass, a GPS sensor, manometer, compass and temperature sensor, and integrated WiFi. The TG5 camera is waterproof to depths of 50 feet (15 metres), shockproof from 7 feet (2.1 metres), crushproof to 220 pounds of force (100 kilograms of force), freezeproof down to 14°F (-10°C), and dustproof. The Olympus TG-5 can record 4K videos at 30fps or Full HD movies at up to 120fps for slow-motion playback. The Olympus TG-5 costs £399.99 / $449.99.

With no eye level viewfinder, images are composed via a 3-inch, 460K dot resolution LCD at the rear which is sufficiently clear for a camera of its ilk – and also is of exactly the same specification as that found on its predecessor two years ago. This iteration likewise features a protective panel, perhaps just one of the reasons why touch screen control isn’t offered on this model – aside from the fact that on-screen menu selections are bunched quite close together, so it would be tricky to accurately select what you wanted unless you possessed pencil-thin fingers.

Squeeze the on/off button and the Olympus TG-5 nigh instantly powers up. The TG-4 was ready for action in just over a second, so this latest iteration feels, to us, slightly faster in response. We’d have to say it is as quick as we could hope for, the rear LCD blinking into life and the lens audibly adjusting. This is encouraging as life moves pretty fast… and we don’t want to miss that golden moment.

We need to access the above via press of the ‘OK’ button located in the middle of a familiar four-way control pad on the Olympus TG-5’s backplate. This brings up a toolbar of the right hand side of the LCD screen. Then it’s just a matter of tabbing down to the desired option and implementing it.

The smaller lozenge-shaped buttons on the back plate to the right of the LCD, of which there are three, not counting the four-way control pad with its central OK button, fall under the thumb of the right hand when gripping the camera in your palm.

There isn’t a better rugged waterproof compact around than the Olympus TOUGH TG-5. Like all great cameras it gets the basics right - a bright, good quality 25-100mm f2 - 4.9 lens paired with a quality 12 Megapixel sensor and high performance TruePic VIII processor. It builds on that with a great set of features and shooting modes, including Pro capture continuous shooting, 4K video, RAW support, and superb macro modes. Finally, it provides the control you need to make the most of those features, whatever the environment. The only downside is the poor performance of the movie continuous AF.

But then again, my smartphone isn"t rugged or waterproof, and doesn"t have an optical zoom. Adding to that, the TG-5 offers Raw capture, GPS logging, good external controls, a more powerful flash and a crazy good macro mode. With the Tough, you"ve got a pretty compelling, compact package without the hassle of endless smartphone apps, clunky waterproof cases and fiddly lens attachments.

The Olympus Tough TG-6 is one of the most rugged cameras on the market. It’s crushproof, freezeproof, can be dropped without incident, and is, of course, waterproof.

In fact, the first thing I did with it when I got it was throw it in a pool. (Not being used to waterproof cameras, I gotta say that was much harder to do than one would think!!)

At 3 inches, the rear LCD screen is large and easy to work with, though it would be better if it were a touch screen – at least as far as controlling focus is concerned.

That being said, it definitely took some practice with the camera to get used to how it chooses what to focus on. Not being able to choose the focus via the rear LCD was aggravating. (If there’s a way to do that, I didn’t figure it out.)

Never having had a waterproof camera before, I admittedly have limited experience, but everything I tried to do with this little guy really impressed me.

Most of the time I was unable to use the LCD screen to compose – I didn’t have either a mask or goggles – I’d just point the camera and hope it focused on my subject. Still, most of the images came out much better than I expected.

Durable Construction. The Olympus Tough TG-6’s name is no joke. This camera was designed to withstand a range of adverse conditions, and can probably take whatever you throw at it. It’s waterproof-rated to IPX8 for use at depths of 50 feet/15m, it’s freezeproof to temperatures as low as 14°F/-10°C, it’s shockproof to falls as high as 7 feet/2.1m, it’s crushproof at up to 220 lbf/100 kgf of pressure, and it’s dustproof-rated to IP6X to protect its internal components.

Underwater Modes. The TG-6 includes five underwater modes to take advantage of that 50-foot waterproof rating: Underwater Wide, Underwater Macro, Underwater HDR, Underwater Snapshot, and Underwater Microscope. There are also dedicated Shallow, Mid-Range, and Deep underwater white-balance modes to help improve red and blue tones in your underwater shots.

Other Notable Features. The 3.0-inch 1.04m-dot rear LCD is plenty large and bright for image composition and review. Pro Capture Mode automatically sequentially shoots from 0.5 to 10 seconds before the shutter is pressed so you’ll be sure to get your shot. You also get a range of picture modes, scene modes, filters, and effects, in addition to in-camera time-lapse shooting with 1-second to 24-hour intervals for up to 299 consecutive images. This camera records images to SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards, and an Olympus LI-92B rechargeable battery that’s rated for up to 340 shots per charge.

Bonus Item We’re including the Floating Wrist Strap for the Olympus TG-6. Made to keep your waterproof point and shoot camera afloat, the colored strap is easy to see in pools, lakes or oceans. A little extra peace of mind goes a long way.
