As well as unveiling their new Olympus Stylus SH-1 camera, Olympus has also unveiled their new Olympus Stylus Tough TG-3 compact camera which has been designed to offer consumers a rugged camera with impressive macro photography features.
The new Olympus Stylus Tough TG-3 is equipped with a 16-megapixel 1/2.3-inch BSI CMOS sensor, which is joined by a TruePic VII processor. This combination ensures high-quality images with excellent detail and color accuracy. The camera also features a 3-inch 460k-dot LCD on the rear, but unfortunately, this is not touchscreen, which might be a drawback for some users who are accustomed to touch navigation.
Advanced Features for Adventurers
Other features of the Olympus Stylus Tough TG-3 camera include built-in wireless connectivity, allowing users to easily transfer photos to their smartphones or tablets for quick sharing on social media. The camera also offers the fastest-in-class 4x 25-100mm equivalent f/2.0-4.9 lens, which is perfect for capturing a wide range of scenes from landscapes to close-ups.
Additionally, the TG-3 is equipped with GPS, water depth and elevation sensors, and an e-compass, making it an ideal companion for outdoor enthusiasts. These features enable users to geotag their photos and keep track of their adventures with precise location data. The camera’s rugged design ensures it can withstand harsh conditions, making it suitable for activities such as hiking, diving, and skiing.
Durability and Versatility
The Olympus Stylus Tough TG-3 is not just about advanced features; it is also built to last. The camera can accept new telephoto and wide-angle conversion lenses, providing users with more flexibility in their photography. Whether you want to capture distant wildlife or expansive landscapes, these conversion lenses can help you achieve the desired effect.
The TG-3 is designed to be freezeproof to 14-degrees F, waterproof down to 50ft, shockproof from 7 feet up, crushproof to 220 pounds, and dustproof. This level of durability ensures that the camera can handle extreme conditions without compromising performance. Whether you’re exploring underwater worlds or braving snowy mountains, the TG-3 is built to endure.
Moreover, the camera’s macro photography capabilities are particularly noteworthy. The TG-3 features a microscope mode that allows users to capture incredible close-up shots with magnification up to 44.5x. This makes it an excellent choice for nature photographers who want to capture the intricate details of small subjects like insects and flowers.
The Olympus Stylus Tough TG-3 will be available in both red and black for around $350 during June of this year. This price point makes it an attractive option for those looking for a robust and feature-rich compact camera that can handle a variety of challenging environments.
