Tough Is My MIddle Name

The popular rugged compact camera series gets a refresh.

- Chester Tan

The latest Tough camera does not deviate much from its predecessors in the design, and even its tough aspects are identical to the TG-4: IP6X dustproof, IPX8 waterproof, -10 degrees Celsius freezeproof, 100kgf crushproof, and 2.1 meters shockproof. The f/2.0 lens does not protrude (25-100mm, 4x optical zoom) and keeps the camera compact. The double locking mechanism on the battery and connector compartments has been redesigned to be more resistant to accidental unlocks during use, while the lens mounting ring is now easier to remove.
