This is my favourite waterproof zoom compact – and it's on offer now!
The OM System Tough TG-7 near-indestructible zoom compact is just £374 after cashback in this tempting end-of-year price drop
An almost unbreakable camera at an unbeatable price, the OM System Tough TG-7 is reduced to just £374 – an amazing deal from Clifton Cameras on our favorite waterproof camera, and one of the best zoom compact cameras that you can still buy new.
Amazon may look to have a better deal on this camera, but it is not part of the OM System winter cashback scheme - so you don't get the £75 refund that you can get by buying from Clifton Cameras.
The Tough TG-7 is shockproof, crushproof, freezeproof, and dustproof exterior, making it an ideal workhorse for adventurous holidaymakers and daredevils.
