Olympus TG-Tracker review

The TG-Tracker is a solid first foray into the action camera market by Olympus

GPS and motion sensors ; 4K video at 30fps ; Flip-out screen ; Rugged and waterproof

Screen doesn't rotate ; App and software need work ; Bigger and heavier than rivals ; Using sensors rapidly drains battery

The TG-Tracker's stylish and rugged design helps it stand out from the boxy action cam crowd, and it's got specs and features to go with those looks, making it a serious challenger to GoPro and other established names.

Olympus Tough! TG Tracker review

(Rating Hidden)

Olympus will be hoping that the Tough! TG-Tracker action cam can take on durable cameras from other big-name brands. It may be waterproof, but is the video quality on the Olympus Tough! up to scratch? Our review reveals all.

This new Olympus action cam is tougher and smarter than the competition

Even without a housing, the Olympus Tracker is tougher than most action cams.

Olympus Tough TG-2

One of the toughest cameras available. Bright f/2.0 lens. Good-looking images on default settings. Very good macro performance.

Ticking noise during video recording. Disappointing video quality.

The toughest camera on the market gets an updated feature set, while image quality and performance remain the same as its predecessor.

Olympus TG-Tracker Review

The Olympus TG-Tracker is a 7.2-megapixel compact camera that is shockproof to a height of 2.1 metres, crushproof to a weight of 100kg, dustproof, freezeproof down to -10°C and waterproof down to a depth of 30 metres. The TG-Tracker features a 14mm f/2...

Offering ruggedness and resilience a-plenty – but not bulk – the 8 megapixel stills shooting Olympus TG-Tracker offers convenience and portability. Ironically, because it is so small, a UK price tag of just under £300 may at first appear a little...

Olympus TG-Tracker Review

With its unusual TG Tracker, Olympus takes its long-running TG-series of Tough-branded cameras in an altogether rather different direction. The company is billing the TG Tracker as a "rugged experiential camera", and points at the wearables market as...
