The Olympus Tough TG-6 digital camera has been designed to allow direct operation while wearing thick gloves thanks to its convenient dial control. And last but not least, it can also resist a crushing force of 220lb/100kg of pressure. The camera is able to continue to operate before reaching a freeze point of 14☏/-10☌, and it can resist a fall of 7'/2.1m high. The camera has been tested to the limits, and it is able to withstand a beating, and the hermetic sealing will put up a fight to the smallest and meanest particles of dust out there. The underwater usage has been rated for a maximum depth of 50'/15m, which is a very decent range for its price. And last but not least, a variable aperture with a maximum value of f/2.īut those specs are quite standard, don't you think? Of course, they are! Let's check out the fun part of this rugged camera. Which is also very well protected with a double-pane glass seal to prevent condensation and fogging. When it comes to stills, the camera can shoot a continuous burst of 20 frames per second, and it comes with a quite fun lens with a zooming range of 25-100mm (35mm equivalent). It also offers an impressive ISO range that reaches up to ISO 12800, and it is capable of recording 4K video at 30 fps, and fully HD at 120 fps. The camera features a 12MP BSI CMOS sensor with a TruePic VIII image processor. And don't let that standard point-and-shoot look fool you. Red is quite popular on it, but you can also pick a more discrete all-black version too. With the notoriously tough design, the TG-6 camera could be your any-situation camera of choice. Today we'll quickly mention and briefly overview some of the best waterproof (and of course mighty rugged) cameras on the market today.

Fortunately for us, there are some decently accessible options in the market that will allow us to worry about the shot and nothing else beyond that! Especially when being outside deep waters. Yes, there are weather-sealed options, which work amazingly, but they simply aren't that rugged for you to feel totally confident about their resistance to some heavy mistreating.Īnd sure, there are water cases too, but the truly protective ones are mighty expensive and quite odd to use. Have you ever been just too afraid of wrecking your precious pieces of gear due to water and other outdoorsy messy stuff? Admit it, we all have suffered from the panic of that happening to our photographic devices at least once.
