Camera comparison

Good evening.

I am wondering if anyone with experience would be able to offer any advice.  I currently have a GoPro 7 which I took to the Maldives a couple of years ago and used it to film video clips and then using the GoPro app took jpg clips from the video. They came out quite well.

I didn’t do a lot with the video clips from the GoPro once I had taken the jpg clips from them.  
I am returning to the Maldives in May and would like to take some better pictures. I was thinking of buying the Olympus TG6.  Would anyone have any advice or experience with this camera?

Thank you.

Re: Camera comparison

I have no experience with the TG5 or TG6, but I've seen a few of them in use and a lot of pics from them.  I think is safe to say they would take better still images than the GoPro, while still being decent at video.

GoPro's have never been known for stills quality.

Be aware that you can get a $300 housing for a smart phone, where the controls work via bluetooth.  (Near universal phone compatibility that way.)  I have no idea how one performs underwater, but I'm sure curious.
