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. If I’m grabbing for the TG-7 out of my camera collection, it’s either because I need something small and durable – or because I want microscopic macro photographs.
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.
