The [Olympus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/om5) Stylus Tough TG-Tracker can be likened to the [Swiss Army](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swiss-rig-bresson) knife of action cameras. It doesn't require a host of accessories like its competitors -- ahem, [GoPro](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hero-action-camera) -- in order to become as sturdy and useful as it can be. Instead, it's pretty ready to take on the world straight out of the box. It has a GPS radio, a barometric pressure sensor, a temperature sensor, a compass, and an accelerometer built right in.

Of course, as its name suggests, the winning quality of the Olympus Stylus Tough TG-Tracker is its toughness. It is waterproof up to 100 feet, dustproof and crushproof up to 220 pounds of force. Yet it is only shockproof up to 7 feet and freezeproof to temperatures as low as 14 degrees Fahrenheit.
