Olympus' TG series of tough/waterproof pocket cameras have resulted in good reviews in the past, with some claiming Olympus leads the field in this kind of camera. The newest TG-6, soon available, has a few new features that might make it a better buy and at the same price than the previous TG-5.
Features, some new, worth considering for quick and easy, durable canoe use...
- no selfie flip screen, vulnerable to damage.
- can shoot RAW, or RAW/jpeg at the same time.
- minimum shutter speed can be set if shooting moving objects (birds, airplanes).
- anti-fog lens glass
- anti-flare and ghosting sensor glass
- easy open/close lens barrier cover available to keep dust and water droplets off, reducing the need to clean the lens.
- low light capability with f/2 lens and smaller megapixel number.
- 25-100mm equaivalent zoom, with some sort of improved digital zoom Olympus has added in, this has yet to be tested.
- video stuff described in the text and links below, and more.
