With a 5x optical zoom and a 16.4 Megapixel sensor, the XP120 is waterproof to a depth of 20 meters, freezeproof to -10C and shockproof from 1.75m. The TG-5 isn’t the only new rugged waterproof camera to be released this year, in January 2107 Fujifilm announced the FinePix XP120. Other improvements include a new control dial, a locking mechanism on the accessory mount, dual-pane anti-fog glass in front of the lens, and an updated menu system similar to that used on mirrorless models. These are now joined by an external thermometer for measuring air and water temperature. Like the TOUGH TG-4 before it, the TG-5 boasts a raft of environmental sensors, including GPS, a manometer for altitude and depth measurement, and an electronic compass.

The new sensor is paired with the same TruePic VIII processor used in the company’s flagship mirrorless model, the OMD EM1 Mk II.Īmong other benefits, the new sensor and processor pairing delivers 4k movies, Pro Capture continuous shooting, improved continuous shooting speeds, focus stacking and bracketing and continuous RAW shooting. It retains the older model’s 4x optical zoom with an equivalent range of 25-100mm but updates the sensor, swapping the earlier 16 Megapixel chip for a 12 Megapixel one, a welcome move which should result in better noise performance and overall image quality, not to mention an increase in the sensitivity range to 12,800 ISO. As before, it’s waterproof to a depth of 15 metres, can withstand a drop from 2.1 metres, is freezeproof down to -10C, crushproof to 100Kg and dustproof. The TG-5 was launched in May 2017 replacing the two year old TG-4. Now, the TOUGH range is highly respected among outdoor adventurers and the brand that other manufacturers look to emulate. Olympus launched the Tough brand back in 2009, but it wasn’t until the TOUGH TG-1 in 2012 that people really started to take notice.

The Olympus TOUGH TG-5 is the latest in the company’s massively popular line of rugged waterproof compacts.
