Re: Comparing photos between the Ricoh WG-6 and the Olympus TG-6

I actually take a ton of kayaking photos so I appreciate the comparison. The latter was definitely recovered nicely in post. Based on the Youtube review from Red35 though it seems like TG-6 images are darker than the TG-5 which is promising.

Honestly if I were taking those shots with my current gear, I would sacrifice the sky as a lost cause and simply EV for the river and shoreline. Tough call though as you had some nice blue skies...

The following is a kayak picture with the W300 that is an example of that. The dynamic range can't properly expose for the sky and foreground...so I just exposed for the river.

Out of curiosity, do any of the TG-5 picture modes work well for river photography?  I-enhance, vivid, natural, muted, custom, etc...
