Stiftung WarentestWasserdichte Handyhüllen im TestReleaseAugust 2024

The camera was included in the test for comparison. Takes similarly good underwater photos as a smartphone in a diving case. However, it does not quite come close to the camera performance of premium smartphones. The camera's good handling and its optical zoom lens, which provides more resolution for telephoto shots in case of doubt, speak in its favour...

All-round tough: The OM System Tough TG-7 lives up to its name and is equipped for all adversities. The image quality is also impressive, preferably outdoors with sufficient light.
