OM System Tough TG-7
OM System released the OM System Tough TG-7 , the successor to the Olympus Tough TG-6 which has been one of the most popular and best selling cameras ever in Camera Decision history. To be honest, it is very hard to find the improvements over the TG-6 at first sight. Thankfully, friends at DPreview did the hard work and listed out the improvements in this article at Dpreview .

I can't really say these are groundbreaking. Come on OM System, you can do better then rebranding old Olympus cameras. In fact, you can start with employing some Engineers first!
'grippier' grip
a USB-C connector for charging but not power
a 3" TFT display with more accurate color
Interval and time-lapse modes
Support for the RM-WR1 weatherproof wireless remote
Support for vertical video
To their credit, OM System also increased the price of the camera to $549 whereas the TG-6 is selling for $499 .
TG-7 is available in Black and Red Colors
Despite only minor improvements over its predecessor, the TG-7 is still the best 'Tough' type camera in the market, so if you need one, just get it before OM System renames it to TG-8 and increase the price to $749!
