So, I just bought a TG-7 and watching this video again has helped me get to know my new camera, and hopefully result in some great pictures. I'm going to London later today, the perfect place to practise street photography.
I also downloaded the expert guide which contains a wealth of useful information.

Thanks Thomas!

Thanks Thomas, I am a Canon studio photographer, I took a Fuji X100F to Europe in 2019 but it was very hard to get a grip on the settings. Currently that camera is worth more than when I bought it. I purchased the TG-7 to provide an opportunity to shoot underwater glamour subjects. But your clear, concise presentation has given me the confidence to attempt street photography . I have never found a features presentation for a camera as detailed and easily understood as yours has been. It was excellent from beginning to end. Thank you very much.

Got my TG-7 yesterday after deliberating for what seemed so long, but in reality is probably only a few weeks. It's nice, it's not the ultimate device but is most probably the ultimate compromise. All the points you make are so right, all the hints and tips you make are so useful. This is a camera I had never considered until a month ago but I am certainly pleased to have it, a very easy carry too. I have mine set up as per all the settings in your vid, including C1 and C2 :-). The menu being a slimmed down version of others from "O", make using it a breeze. Thanks.

I have had a TG-6 for some time now and thought I knew all about it. Thanks to this video I have learned new tips which will make it more useful for street photography. Thanks very much for this video.

Yet another excellent video: organized, clear, logical, and very helpful! I've had three TG cameras starting with the first TG-1 and now have a TG-6. I sold my TG-4 to a friend who used it on a trip to India specifically because of it's small size and unassuming appearance. He was able to get amazing photos and video with no one noticing him. Thanks for highlighting this often overlooked camera.

[Ricardo-SW]

Another outstanding episode! You have one of the best channels, thank you.

Great tips! I'm sure you're aware of the AF Lock feature, but for new users I'll point out that pressing the shutter 1/2 way then pressing the OK button locks the AF at your target. You can then adjust the AF point with the Up/Down buttons on the 4 way controller. Essentially this is a Manual Focus using AF to lock on your distant target and also allows you to adjust the distance.

Time to put TG-7 into street photography arsenal now!!

[ponymoore]

Thank you. I now feel far more confident with my TG-7

[TaleOfTwoIdiots]

I bought a TG-4 for its “tough” capabilities but was subsequently blown away by its image-capturing ability. I have no doubt that the TG-7 is even better.

[NZCycletherapy]

Thank you again for another video Thomas, you’ve given me enthusiasm and confidence to go out and try my TG6 for street photography now, and I’ll definitely be checking my out your pro settings download, you are a great teacher.

[SueFerreira]

Thank you for your excellent series of videos about the TG7.

[Watchamacallit]

Great work. This is the most clear, concise and useful camera tutorial I've ever seen. My only issue--with your 3-finger hold and hand gestures I kept expecting the camera to go flying.

[serenadenphoto]

I own the TG-5 and I can see that little has changed. TG-6 have a higher resolution LCD screen. TG-7 changed to USB-C. All essential part like the lens, sensor and image processor are still the same. Couldn't find anything to justify an upgrade. Still find it a very useful camera.

[wiErzAK]

Thank you very much for the simple and clear instructions for using the camera. I have always taken photos with a SLR camera and it was difficult for me to switch to a small monkey that makes holidays easier. Your video makes it much easier.

[yyxballaa]

I recently got mine and I'm in love with this camera, your video was a important reason to buy it, certainly. Thank you for this kind of content.

[DogMediaLife]

Utterly superb and concise video. A real refreshing watch compared to the usual reviews that people post. Great to see the on-screen demonstrations on actual setting changes. Keep up the excellent Channel 👍

[davidclode]

Hi Thomas. Thank you for a very helpful video. I am looking forward to using the tg-7 for street photography at the local fruit and vegetable markets (in Cairns, Australia) I usually feel uncomfortable doing this, but I think because the tg-7 is unobtrusive and does not look like a big serious camera, it should be easier to get candid photos of people without upsetting anybody.

[MARKVS]

Hello Thomas, I just found your channel while looking for TG-7 videos, as I'm considering to buy it, and I'm glad I discovered a great reviewer. Clear, logical and very helpful. Thanks for the hints, your way to expose all details makes it easy to learn and remember. I think I'm going for the TG-7 for its versatility since I guess I can easily carry it for my bike rides, for a walk down the streets and on the beach here in Sardinia, where I live. Well, kudos for your channel, already subscribed of course 🙂
