While most of the rugged cameras we covered in last year's roundup have received minor upgrades, the Olympus Tough TG-4 brings something big to the table: Raw support. Does adding Raw put the TG-4 at the top of its class? Read more
Active lifestyle cameras -- aka "tough" cameras -- are aimed at photographers who don’t want to worry about their equipment during their adventures, but do want to capture images they can be proud of—even under challenging conditions. The seven tough underwater cameras we picked as our favorites on this list are virtually indestructible, high-performance compacts that are perfect for skiing, surfing, taking to the beach, boating, hiking or any other activity where an unprotected DSLR or mirrorless camera could be damaged.
Though it can't go as deep as the competition, the Olympus Tough TG-4 takes the best pictures among the waterproof cameras we've tested.
