Macro photos taken with the OM System TG-7 of a luna moth's wing.

The OM System Tough TG-7 is my official beach day camera – but one of my favorite features of the waterproof compact isn’t one of the camera’s headlining features, like the waterproof body or the pocketable size.

The OM System Tough TG-7 is arguably the best waterproof compact camera out there, at least in its price range, thanks to its durable design and bright lens. When I brought it along on my family vacation earlier this year, I used it more than my mirrorless camera, in part because much of that vacation was spent on wet, sandy beaches.
