While we’re mild-mannered men Monday to Friday, we’re extreme guys on the weekends. (YOLO, right?) Olympus’ OM-D and PEN mirrrorless cameras are small, stylish and powerful, but they won’t last a second when you need to tackle the great outdoors and not worry about dropping it.
In those cases, you’ll want to go with the TG-3 Tough Camera, a 16-megapixel shooter that’s virtually indestructible. It’s water-proof up to 50 feet, crush-proof up to 220 feet and shock-proof up to 7 feet.
The TG-3’s f/2.0 lens brings 4X zoom and an insane microscope mode lets you magnify and capture the tiniest subjects (like really tiny bugs). Built-in Wi-Fi and GPS, super fast autofocusing and a focus bracketing mode that takes eight consecutive shots and then combines them into one in-focus shot round out the TG-3’s list of extreme features.
My favorite accessory, though is the LED Light Guide ($39.99) which attaches around the lens and illuminates subjects for balanced in-focus shots. Well worth the extra money, I think.
The TG-3 comes in two colors: red
