[CES 2013] Earlier we mentioned that Olympus had a couple of rugged cameras as part of their CES 2013 lineup, such as the TG-630. If you thought that maybe the TG-630 wasn’t rugged enough for you, then perhaps its big brother, the STYLUS TOUGH TG-830 iHS , might be more to your liking. The TG-830 will sport a slightly larger image sensor – 16MP versus the 12MP on the TG-630, but apart from that it still utilizes the same BSI CMOS sensor and will rely on the TruePic VI image processor as well. The TG-830 iHS will feature the same type of protection as the TG-630 iHS, such as waterproof up to depths of 10m, and shockproof from drops of heights up to 2m, and is both freezeproof and dustproof.

Olympus intros upgraded Stylus Tough TG2, TG830 and TG630 rugged cameras

Olympus knows many of us will be jonesing for a rugged camera once the weather warms up, and it’s more than happy to deliver with a trio of refreshed Stylus Tough point-and-shoots. The TG-2 iHS flagship is all about going closer and deeper than before: it preserves the 12-megapixel CMOS sensor, 25-100mm equivalent f/2.0 lens and 1080p video of its predecessor, but introduces a new Microscopic Macro mode that Olympus claims can provide extreme detail from as little as 1cm (0.4 inches) away. The body’s waterproofing is also resilient enough to survive at a deeper 50 feet, just in case the TG-1 isn’t quite a match for that upcoming reef expedition. The TG-2 will arrive in March, and it should undercut its predecessor’s original asking price at $380.

Those who aren’t quite so committed to rough-and-tumble photography still get a few updates of their own. The TG-830 iHS adds geolocation to the TG-820’s formula with both GPS and an electronic compass to show the way; its 16-megapixel CMOS sensor is also new, although we’re more interested in a newfound option to shoot stills while recording video. At the entry level, the TG-630 iHS is a close cousin of the recent TG-625, adding a front metal plate to the 12-megapixel model we know. The two will ship alongside their bigger sibling in March with respective prices of $280 for the TG-830 and $200 for the TG-630.
