Product Overview

Olympus Tough TG-5 is a high-end 1/2.3" compact action camera. Introduced by Olympus in 2017, it comes with a 1/2.3" sensor with 12 MP (4000 x 3000) resolution.

The camera has a poor battery life, and a second or third battery may be needed to get you through the day. Professionals and fanboys will be pleased by the extraordinary 20.0 fps burst rate that this camera can deliver.

The Olympus Tough TG-5 comes with 25 autofocus points and a built-in GPS. Last but not least, the camera can focus quite close to the subject.
