Olympus TOUGH TG5 review at CameraLabs: “there isn’t a better rugged waterproof compact around”

Share

CameraLabs tested the new Olympus TG-5:

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.

Also Photographyblog reviewed the new Olympus camera:

The Olympus TG-5 is certainly one of the better toughened-construction cameras we’ve used and one that hasn’t been unduly compromised by the fact that it has indeed been reinforced. Whether you think it’s worth spending £400 on what is largely a point and shoot digital camera, albeit one ready for battle, will depend on your specific requirements. But it is a capable, consistent performer, despite the small sensor.

TG-5 at Amazon, Getolympus, BHphoto, Adorama and ParkCameras.

Jon:I’ve used m4/3 cameras quite a bit in the past and really enjoyed the E-M5 and E-M1 in particular.  I had some all the way back to the Panasonic G2 and GH2.  I was never completely satisfied with the overall image quality to the point where I felt REALLY comfortable using m4/3 as my main camera (even though I did for a bit, but went back to a FF DSLR).  Not really comfortable until the GH5 that is.  I bought a G85 about 6 months ago and was so impressed with it I decided to buy a GH5 and sell my D750.  I’ll be using the GH5 as my main camera now, with a Nikon Df as a backup/extra camera.  What has surprised me the most is how clean the files are at base ISO and how good the dynamic range is, compared to other m4/3 cameras I’ve used.  I’ll be taking the GH5 with me on my big western trip in July (Yellowstone, Glacier and more). 
Here’s my image gallery so far for the GH5.

David:On April 30th you included an announcement for FlashQ’s Q20 electronic flash with wireless trigger. I have had the shirt-pocket sized Q-20 for almost 3 weeks, testing it with both the EM-1 Mk I & Mk II bodies.  I  think your readers will find my comprehensive review to be most interesting:  http://www.furnfeather.ca/Reviews/Q-20_Review.html
