School life can be tough on technology. Preserve your valuable shots with a camera that delivers high-quality images in a rugged, anything-goes body.

This Olympus Stylus TOUGH TG-870 digital camera features a 16.0-megapixel 1/2.3" BSI CMOS sensor that lets you shoot crisp photos and high-definition video with 1080p resolution. The water-, crush-, shock-, cold- and dust-resistant design offers durability.

In addition to being fully sealed from dust, the TG-870 is built to withstand underwater dives up to 50' deep, falls from up to 7' high, temperatures as low as 14°F, and pressure up to 220 lbf. While serving to protect on an array of adventures, these features are also well-suited to use in everyday circumstances. Also, the TG-870 introduces a host of new shooting features, including an LCD brightness boost, thirteen Art Filters, and the Live Composite mode, among others.



Major Camera Features

Tough Design

The TG-870 is designed to withstand a wide variety of conditions, ranging from harsh climates to everyday mishaps:
  • Waterproof to depths of 50' / 15m

    Freezeproof to temperatures as low as 14°F / -10°C


  • Shockproof to falls from 7' / 2.1m high


  • Crushproof to withstand up to 220 lbf / 100kgf of pressure


  • Dustproof to protect the internal components of the camera

  • 16MP BSI CMOS Sensor

    A 16MP 1/2.3" backside-illuminated CMOS sensor and TruePic VII image processor work together to enable iHS (Intelligent High Speed) Technology, which benefits both the overall image quality and performance throughout the TG-870. The BSI design of the image sensor realizes notable sensitivity, up to ISO 6400, along with reduced noise levels to enhance image quality, especially in regard to working in difficult lighting conditions. The processing capabilities also afford a 7 fps shooting rate at full resolution, as well as 20 fps and 60 fps shooting rates at 3 megapixels.

    5x Optical Zoom Lens

    Covering ultra-wide angle to telephoto focal lengths, the compact TG-870 is equipped with a 5x optical zoom lens, equivalent to 21-105mm in 35mm terms. It offers a variable aperture of f/3.5-5.7 for work in a variety of conditions while keeping size down. Benefitting this versatile zoom range, a hybrid lens shift and digital image stabilization system helps to minimize the appearance of camera shake for sharper handheld imagery.

    Full HD Movie Recording

    Full HD 1920 x 1080p video recording at 60 fps in the MOV/H.264 format is available for capturing your action-packed moments and sharing them with your friends. In addition to full HD 1080p, HD 720p recording is also available as well as 120 fps and 240 fps high-speed recording at reduced resolutions. A Nightscape Movie Mode is available for further optimizing image quality in low light.

    3.0" 920k-Dot Tilting LCD Monitor

    Compose with ease in a range of tight situations with the tilting 3.0" monitor of the TG-870. It has a high resolution of 920k-dots and can tilt up to 180°, perfect for selfies. Also, a Monitor Boost function is available to increase brightness by up to 2.6x, enabling clear viewing in bright conditions.

    Live Composite

    Live Composite is a mode that will automatically put together numerous exposures of a single scene in order to produce a single properly exposed image without losing highlights or shadows.

    Built-In Wi-Fi and GPS

    Built-in Wi-Fi connectivity enables seamless sharing of photos and movies from the camera to a linked mobile device for instant sharing online. Utilizing the Olympus Image Share app, you can also remotely control the camera from a smartphone or tablet, including the ability to zoom in or out, adjust exposure and focus, and release the shutter. Additionally, utilizing the location data from a mobile device, you can geotag your imagery for plotting to an interactive map using the included Olympus Viewer 3 software. Complementing the Wi-Fi connectivity, an integrated GPS module can quickly locate your position and also enables on-board geotagging and landmark-tagging capabilities.
