Re: Very Disappointed on Vacation

All I can say is that I had the TG-4 and it was fabulous.  I owned the Canon D10 and D20 before that.  On my recent trip to Florida, I forgot to lock the watertight doors and salt water got in and it killed the camera in minutes.

So, I just replaced it with the TG-5 and the updated menus with IS make this an incredible camera.

Sometimes gear is faulty so I always try and make sure I buy from a legit supplier, and many times that IS NOT on Amazon.  If the price is the same, I always try to buy direct from the vendor.  This time around, I was going to buy from Olympus but they were going to charge me for shipping.  So, I ordered from Adorama and the shipping was free.

This is a GREAT camera and do yourself a favor and go out and try shooting in each and every mode and get comfortable before you get setup for disappointment on a great vacation.

Back in my triathlon days, everyone SAID, don't use new gear on race day.  More times than I want to admit I did not take that advice and I paid a price.  Same for camera gear.
