Description — Olympus TG-830 iHS
The Olympus Tough TG-830 iHS is a weather-sealed compact camera built for photographers who need a durable, take-anywhere body. The polycarbonate construction keeps the total weight at just 214g with dimensions of 109 x 67 x 28 mm — slim enough to slip into a jacket pocket. At its core is a 16MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor paired with the TruePic VI image processor, capable of shooting at a maximum resolution of 4608x3456.
The ISO range spans 100 to 6400, and the camera's sensor-shift IBIS helps steady shots without digital cropping. For fast action, a 60fps burst mode lets you capture sequences in quick succession. The autofocus system uses contrast detection alongside face detection AF and subject tracking for reliable focus on moving subjects.
Video tops out at 1080p with support for 30fps, 60fps, and 120fps in 8-bit. The 3.0-inch fixed LCD renders at 460,000 dots, and connectivity includes Micro HDMI and USB. Storage is compatible with SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards, and the LI-50B battery is rated for approximately 300 shots per charge.
