Just before we jump straight into the deep end of our Red review, we thought you might like to have a quick read of how the seller, John Lewis chooses to describe this item in the description: Tough, technologically advanced and terrific, the Olympus Tough TG-5 is built to go anywhere, providing exceptional quality shots in the harshest of conditions. Happiest in the great outdoors, it’s a superb camera to capture the classic moments of your most extreme adventures. TOUGH The TG-5 is as rugged and durable as they come, rigorously tested by Olympus. Shockproof from heights of up to 2.1 metres. Waterproof down to a depth of 15 meters (or equivalent pressure). Freezeproof down to -10°c. Crushproof up to 100kg. And with a dustproof body incorporating Anti-fog dual pane glass, it’ll survive the wildest weathers and the harshest environments. The controls and dials are designed for ease-of-use, even when battling the elements. Impressive Imagery A super-bright 25-100mm lens works in conjunction with a 12 megapixel sensor for excellent visual quality, handled with exceptional speed by a TruePic VIII image processor. Capture the action with consistent fine detail throughout the frame. It also shoots in RAW format for highest possible resolution and creative control. Lightening-quick AF technology keeps the focus sharp and the Aperture Priority Mode expands your focus range for amazing results. Finely-detailed 4K Capture the moving image in stunning detail. Spectacular 4K UHD resolution means smooth and hyper-detailed movie footage. Or choose Full HD 1080p res running at 120fps for superior slow motion sequences. Mind-blowing Macro Focus in on those tiny details not visible with the naked eye for incredible results. Particularly good for shooting nature, the TG-5 features a four mode Variable Macro system. Choose from Microscope, Microscope Control, Focus Bracketing or Focus Stacking mode for extreme close ups of wildlife, flora and fauna. Focus Stacking mode even works without additional software, which would normally be required in a camera of this class. Creative Shooting The TG-5 is packed with a variety of shooting modes such as Underwater Mode optimised for underwater photography, and Pro Capture for capturing split-second movement. With these features, you can explore a world of heightened creativity. Tracking This Olympus camera features next-gen GPS with Landmark Recognition which pinpoints your location under 10 seconds. The e.Compass tracks barometric pressure, altitude and water depth as it navigates you home. Instant Image and Movie Sharing With built-in Wi-Fi and the OI.Share app, you can compose your image, control the camera settings and shoot remotely from your smart device. You’ll then be able to wirelessly upload and share your shots.

Our staff go to extreme lengths to check that these products are tested against our stringent criteria, which means the consumer can rest safely in the knowledge that they will be purchasing just what is described by the seller.

Summary review of the Red

Following quite a few hours and 195 Cameras reviews undertaken by The Review Shop over the last few months, we really enjoyed getting to test and live with the Red. In actual fact, this could well be one of our favourite products to come from John Lewis in recent times, and that is even more impressive when you consider that we have tested over 88 of their products over the last few months! If you are not convinced already that this is the right bit of kit to suit your needs, then we recommend the ‘See all reviews’ button at the top of the page to get a bit of validation from some like minded buyers and once you have seen first hand some of the best features of this product, we think you will be pretty keen to visit John Lewis’s website and order it before they run out of stock.
