Have you had any further fogging up/condensation of your lens/LCD?  I also bought a TG-2 right before my trip to Mayan Riviera and had some issues with fogging up/condensation of the lens and sometimes the LCD when going into the warm carribean water and even sometimes when walking around.  It would resolve on its own after a few minutes or sometimes 1-2 hours.  By the time I returned from my trip 2 weeks later it was too late to exchange/return the camera to my camera shop so now have to send it in to Olympus to look at it... not sure how much they can/will do apart from maybe changing the seals in the door?  There were absolutely no water leakage though from my on inspection.  Anyone can share with similar experiences can say what they will most likely do?  I don't think they would exchange for another brand new TG-2?

I have had condensation issues with many "waterproof" cameras and waterproof housings for cameras. It is standard. The New Panasonic TS5 (FT5) has an "anti-fog" lens as a new feature. I have not tried yet to see if it successfully avoids this common problem. I doubt it's a specific camera defect.
