Olympus TG5 vs Sony RX100

Hi,

I am between these two underwater camera solutions only for snorkeling no more than 5m depth.

cost for tg5: 450 - 600€ with the wide lens converter

cost for used RX100 mk3+meikon : 500€

I know IQ from Sony will be vastly superior, but I am very attracted by the small size of the tg5 and mainly the wide lens converter which is also small and practical. It will allow me to get over/under water photos or wide ones with waves etc.

in order to get something similar from RX100 I will need a much bigger and expensive dome for the meikon housing which I think might be too much for snorkeling.

what do you think?

thx
