I bought a TG-6 to replace a Nikon AW300 - point&shoot. The TG-6 is consistently over-exposing. I have it spot metering and still no help. I stopped down, which obviously improves things. If it were my camera, I'd tweak the compensation to taste.

In most cases, spot metering should be avoided if the user is inexperienced. I dont understand your "stopped down" comment. There's no manual mode. Using aperture priority mode only means that shutter speed and ISO are controlled by the camera. It doesn't change metering of the system. If it's inaccurate, it will remain inaccurate.

Small sensor cameras tend to push the exposure in order to maximize dynamic range. The TG-6 definitely falls into that category

You have a lot of complaints about the camera but haven't posted a single example. You would receive more informed responses if we can see what you're talking about.
