Re: Black TG-5 weight: 224.2g

I don't think the OP even owns a TG-5 or a TG-2 for that matter.

Cheap may well be in the eye of the holder, but the first thing that struck me about the camera was how robust and solid it felt for its size.

As for GPS, it locks on pretty fast after first acquisition (which is always the longest), something common to every GPS unit I own (I own quite a few).

The screen showing GPS position is there, which seems to indicate that the OP doesn't own the camera (you won't see the coords as the GPS was off):

Unless you stick your ear to the camera, you can't hear the zoom. Zooming wile videoing is not a good idea anyway, if you want good looking video.

Only recording for a few seconds? Nope, you obviously don't have this camera.

And the OP's scale of what the camera is good for and what it's not is laughable.

You would think if they wanted to bag a camera, they would come up with some credible reasons, not crap that makes them look like a complete idiot.
