WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH, GRAB THIS CAMERA
It is packed with features
that help you capture bright, crisp outdoor shots even in challenging
conditions
The summer is here and Oly
mpus has t a ken t he wraps off its latest rugged compact camera, the Tough T G
5. Repl aci ng one of the favourite waterproof compact cameras at the moment,
the TG-4, Olympus has taken the unusual step of actually dropping the pixel
count from 16MP to 12MP, which should potentially see the image quality improve
-with the pixels not quite as densely packed in, noise performance should be
that bit better. Underlining its rugged credentials, the TG 5 is now waterproof
down to 15 mts, as well as being able to survive a drop of 2.1 mts.On top of
that, if you are unlucky or careless with your TG-5 it'll withstand a force up
to 100 kg. Take it skiing, meanwhile, and the TG-5 is freezeproof down to minus
10-degree C.
The Tough TG-5 sticks with
the same 25-100mm zoom lens with an impressive f2 maximum aperture at the wide
end (though it drops down to f4.9 at the long end).There has been a little
tweak though, with Olympus adding a dual panel glass to prevent fogging due to
rapid changes in temperature (think going from a hot beach straight into the
sea, for instance). The TG 5 bor rows t he built-in Field Sensor System we have
seen on the TG Tracker, which consists of a GPS sensor, pressure, compass and
temperature sensor. The data gathered can be displayed with images and videos
using the Olympus Image Track app.
It gets the latest TruePic
VIII processor found in the E-M1 Mark II, and can now capture 4K video at 30p
or high speed footage at 120p in Full HD. The Tough TG-5 will be available in
June for around $449, with the .choice of either red or black finishes
