Great image quality, 4K video recording, Expandable design
Expensive compared to rivals, Limited zoom reach
The TG-5 feels and performs like a premium rugged compact, delivering high quality stills and videos as well as the nigh-on unbreakable build quality of an adventurer's tool. While the price is fairly high in comparison to rivals like the £150 Fujifilm X...
4K video in 'underwater mode' is impressive, Sealed design is impervious to sand, dust and water, Takes great 1cm macro shots, The advanced GPS module gives accurate geotags, A companion app for your smartphone adds remote control
LCD monitor is not touchscreen and quite a low resolution, Optical zoom range is limited, Requires a nonstandard Olympus data cable, The design hasn't changed and has limited mounting options, Recent competition in the action camera category makes this lo
The new casing feels almost indestructible and the controls have been subtly changed to make the fifth generation model easier to use in a tight spot. The zoom lens doesn't reach very far, but it's impressively wide and it can achieve great macro shots at...
Whenever we've rounded up a group of tough compacts for testing in the past, Olympus' Tough series has always fared very well, coming out on top on more than one occasion. The TG-5 might not be the radical upgrade to the TG-4 that some might have been exp...

Abstract: Olympus has announced its latest Tough camera, the TG-5. Following the family of Tough cameras before it, the new Olympus model is everything you expect it to be. There are chunky lines, exposed bolt heads, locks on all the flaps and so on. Such are the h...

Abstract: Hace buen tiempo y con los días libres propios del verano, muchos aprovecharemos para dejar volar nuestro lado aventurero: deportes, excursiones por el monte, zambullidas en el río, chapuzones en la piscina. una buena idea para inmortalizar ese momento...
Abstract: Comment choisir le meilleur appareil photo compact ? Le meilleur appareil photo compact: 1. Sony HX90V, c'est dans les vieux pots. 2. Olympus TG-5, une robustesse à toute épreuve 3. Panasonic G9X Mark II, capteur 1 pouce et optique lumineuse 4. Panason...
Les nombreuses fonctionnalités et les modes polyvalents, Les différents moyens pour accéder aux réglages (menus, molette et boutons), Le mode macro impressionnant, Le ralenti vidéo en HD, L'enregistrement des photos en RAW
Les résultats en basse lumière, La structure des menus est un peu confuse, Le mécanisme du zoom est bruyant lors de la capture des vidéos
Bien qu’il soit onéreux, l'appareil photo étanche d’Olympus offre une multitude de fonctionnalités pour vous aider à capturer au mieux vos excursions sous-marines...
L'un des seuls compacts renforcés du marché, AF probant et bonne rafale, Un bon mode macro, La vidéo 4K
Le bloc optique vieillissant, Des boutons pas toujours accessibles, Peu d'évolutions en cinq ans
Olympus TG-5L'Olympus TG-5 est le meilleur compact renforcé étanche du moment… mais ce n'est pas si simple. Car si on apprécie son AF bien plus réactif que par le passé et son mode rafale certes limité mais percutant, le TG-5 nous a déçus par son cons...
Appareil ergonomique, Coque solide et rassurante, Écran anti-buée, Prise USB micro-B, Wi-Fi, GPS, Application Wi-Fi complète, Modes macroscopiques très performants, Intégration du RAW, Très bonne qualité d'image, Très bonne réactivité générale, Vidéo 4K/U
Définition d'écran beaucoup trop faible (460 000 points), Plage d'ouverture pas totalement exploitable, Absence d'un mode manuel
L'Olympus Tough TG-5 est un baroudeur très pertinent. Il ne détient pas le record de plongée, mais il s'empare des dernières avancées technologiques inhérentes à la marque, notamment via l'arrivée du processeur Trupic VIII. Ainsi, la réactivité est amélio...
