Olympus TG-4 16 MP

Olympus TG-4 16 MP Waterproof Digital Camera with 3-Inch LCD

Hot on the heels of the successful Olympus TG-3 from last year, Olympus has once again rolled out another incredible camera, Olympus TG-4, waterproof, with a 3 inch LCD screen. It is a rugged camera though they have not done so much in as far as the style of the exterior is concerned, or the control scheme. Those who are looking for changes of a significant magnitude will need to look elsewhere, for most of the improvements on the Olympus TG-3 that brought about Olympus TG-4 have taken place under the hood.

We see the introduction of more modes for scenery captures, GPS tracking has been upgraded and is now faster than before. Just in case you are looking for a camera that will guarantee you high quality images, you are making the right choice. RAW capture will certainly turn a few heads, even though others have done it before. We can perhaps appreciate the fact that you can actually shoot RAW files across all the major shooting modes. However, the aperture priority and program exposure will bring more value to the scenery that you are shooting. Scene modes have been updated and the filter effects are incredible.

Olympus Live Composite mode has been included in the design of Olympus TG-4, as was the case with the earlier model E-M10. With this feature, you are able to get awesome shots at night, capture some incredible landscape shots, take impeccable shots of the city at any given time of the day or night, irrespective of the prevailing weather conditions. To add on to that all these shots are taken in real time. This means that you no longer need to worry about processing your photos later on, or taking more time later on to build lots of presentable images.

The AF target selection is a feature that has been long overdue, and coming from Olympus, this is an incredible trendsetter. We can expect lots of developers to tow this line in the future, even on smartphones. With this feature you are able to make use of directional control buttons that go either way to shift the focus point wherever you want. As a result, you can now choose and frame your shots the way want.

We cannot round off this review without mentioning the waterproof capacity of the Olympus TG-4. With a maximum depth of 50 feet underneath the seas, you can make good use of the underwater HDR mode and deliver some pristine shots.

For someone who is looking for one of the best cameras in the market so far, there is quite the variety from which you can make your selection. However, the Olympus TG-4, waterproof, with a 3 inch LCD screen is sure to be one of the best cameras that you can get your hands on so far. If you really fancy ultra HD 4K and some of the best resolution for action shots, this is definitely what you need to get your hands on.
