The TG-2 gets TOUGH on tough light

If you always take ‘challenging‘ over ‘relaxing‘ and ‘both’ over ‘or’, you’ll love taking pictures with the uncompromising STYLUS TG-2. This fun compact camera delivers pristine full HD movies and stills in all kinds of conditions – from low light 15 metres underwater to fast-moving, auto-focussed winter sports and fascinating close-ups of the natural world. Key to its outstanding credentials is the super-bright 1:2.0 high-speed (25-100mm*) lens that combines with iHS technologies: the TruePic VI image processor and 12-Megapixel low-noise, high-sensitivity backlit CMOS sensor. With the TG-2, close-ups are a rich source of fabulous shots. You can effectively boost zoom magnification from 4x to 14x* with no discernible loss of image quality. Unlike comparable macro modes with a fixed focal length, Olympus’ macro system operates as close as 1cm with focal lengths from 30 to 200mm*, allowing you to capture breathtaking microscopic detail with professional-looking background blur. And here the TG-2 has another ace up its sleeve. Even in the high-end compact class, its manually selectable aperture priority mode is exceptionally rare. It’s ideal for blurring the background with portraits or ensuring consistently crisp focus with deeper compositions such as landscapes.

Expandability is a big advantage of owning a TG-2. It can be adapted to capture an even wider range of images, in even more extreme conditions, with a full range of accessories. For example, the fisheye converter for capturing wider shots even underwater or the tele converter that increases the zoom by 1.7x. To boost the deep-sea capability of your camera still further, the PT-053 underwater housing lets you shoot right down to 45 metres for just €299.99.

The TG-830 makes Full HD movies in superior formats

The STYLUS TG-830 is all about worry-free. It’s crushproof** to a force of 100kg, waterproof** to a depth of 10 metres, shockproof** to a height of 2.1m and freezeproof** to -10°C. Of course, it’s also about convenience – and glorious picture quality. In some respects, the TG-830 even outguns the TOUGH series flagship – with the choice of recording smoother fast-moving subjects in the Full HD 1080/30p format, or in 1080/60i, which is ideal for extracting still images on a PC. Alternatively, you can use Multi Recording to capture Full HD movies and 16-Megapixel photos at the same time – or record in 120fps (HD) or 240fps high speed movie mode for dramatic slow-motion playback of action scenes. Whatever the format, GPS and e.compass automatically register where your films and photos were taken, so you can easily store and review them by location. Like the TG-2, the TG-830 retrieves information on more than 700,000 landmarks in 180 countries and even records what direction the camera was pointing. An optional underwater housing is available (for €229.99) that keeps your camera pressure-proof down to 45m deep.

The TGs keeps your creativity safe

The affordable TG-630 combines trademark TOUGH imaging power with child, water, shock and freezeproofing. Like every next-generation TOUGH camera, it boasts iHS sensor and image processing technologies, Full HD and high frame rate movie recording as well as 11 creative filters and the FlashAir™ wireless compatibility that makes it a pleasure to transfer images to your cloud or social website of choice.
