The internet previously chose to all jump on the bandwagon and report that the Olympus TG-1 tough camera was about to be announced after a retailer leaked it. What do you know? The camera was real after all. With a sleek chassis and compact body, the new tough camera’s most interesting new feature will be its lens: which opens up to f2.0. Plus it has a 4x optical zoom, 12MP sensor (1/2.3 CMOS, nowhere as big as premium point and shoot cameras), 3 inch LCD screen, tap controls like other Tough cameras, and more. There is also 1080p 30p video recording and it is waterproof to 12m/40ft, freezeproof to -10C/-14F, crushproof to 100kgf, shockproof to 2m and dustproof.
The one major downfall: it doesn’t shoot RAW. Specs and more after the jump.
