I go snorkeling 2x per year using a Panasonic Lumix TS4, purchased in 2013. It works fine (for photos and a little video), but I am curious if an Olympus TG-5 will be a noticeable upgrade for me? I don't know much about photography yet. How do those compare for a beginner?

Thank you!

Hi, I would say yes:)

I took my TG-5 out a few times in Kefalonia last year, I am an absolute novice as far as technique goes but here are some unedited jpegs anyway I have tried to give you a rounded selection of above and below water so you can best understand its capabilities, hope this helps.

I can answer any questions u might have about its functions

I think I need to work on my under water colour balance! But it was quite dull down there.
