I had high hopes for the Sealife DC2000, but Just sold it to stick with my Olympus TG-5. Some reasons for selling: No optical zoom, slow shutter response and write time, somewhat awkward controls when in the water, build quality not up to Olympus, and only incremental better image quality over the 1/2.3 sensor. I should note that I only use the TG-5 when snorkeling to about 25 feet, so quick camera response is a necessity.

Probably will buy the new TG-6. Al;though, for whatever reasons, it still does not have a manual mode (like the DC2000), it now has a "minimum shutter speed" feature that should be able to limit shutter speeds in "aperture priority mode:" to a range sufficient to cleanly capture fish, etc.

Not my experience. I agree with the somewhat awkward controls, but strongly disagree with the “only incremental better image quality”. I think it is really way better with the DC2000. I wish the TG-5 had the same IQ. I would immediately buy another one....  But of course, this is only my opinion....
