To flash or not to flash? That's a question that we ask ourselves, when the light dims or has  wild variances in shaded and bright areas. Sometimes it can be as simple as turning on some room ...

Thanks Enders. I guess I exceeded that, momentarily. It turned out the water in the first inch or so on top was 50º+ C (measured by thermometer. However, the water underneath was quite bearable, at ...

I discovered some fish, living in a pond that is the outflow of a hot springs. It's as hot as a hot bath and they are living in it. I couldn't believe it — but didn't have my TG-3 with me. I will ...

The wedding went well — and the E-M5 Mkll was in-synch with my E-M1 Mk1, right out of the gate. About the ONLY thing I used to miss about my old 4/3 E-5 was the swing-out LCD. The E-M5 Mk ll ...

I wanted/needed a second camera with wifi (to go with my E-M1 Mk1) so I picked up an E-M5 Mk ll. Not sure what KingSterling's timeline/pressures are... I do wonder about the 4K video wish: do you ...

LOVELY wedding photos! The touch screen shutter is something I immediately loved when I first got into micro 4/3, with my E-PL5. I go in gaps of not using it but have started to use it when ...

Ben and I were early owners of the C-5060. I now have two that haven't been used in a few years.

I picked up one with an Olympus diving housing in 2010 (for a little over $100) and just happened...

Good points — but the underwater colour balance is one area where the RAW capability should give an edge. My TG-3 can make some pretty off-cast underwater pics and I struggle to rescue them, with...

Wouldn't that focal length be too short, to do any justice for puffin photos? (Unless you have a way of being 10 paces away from the landing spot.) I hope someone comes on here, who has a 12-60 and ...

Olympus won't let you go past their posted shutter sync speed when you have a dedicated camera in the shoe — but when you have the flash in a non-TTL radio slave, you can usually go one or two ...

I've had no issues with scratches on the lens on my TG-3 — but the back LCD seems very easily scratched. To me, it seems less 'tough' than the LCD glass on my Oly E-M1.

4x3 has been Olympus' aspect ratio since it went digital, as far as I know.

I wrote this in the comments under the news section of the TG-5 release and thought people here would like to see: I've been freelance shooting and writing for a small town newspaper in western ...

I've been freelance shooting and writing for a small town newspaper in western Canada for over 30 years — and my TG-3 and off-camera FL-50r flash helped me earn my first Gold award in sports...

One of the many things I love about my TG-3 is it's built-in ability to do TTL control of an external Olympus flash, such as my FL-50r. It's amazing, the features Olympus has packed into these...

In short: it should work just fine for you. Remotely, you can control zoom and focus points as well — and download to your phone for transmission to clients, if needed. It really is cool technology...

That's a great, creative use for the camera, Jordan. I've used Olympus iShare on the TG-3 and the E-M1 and there's a slight delay between what you see on the screen and the actual action.

For...

Notching up the ISO should give more success on the motion blur.

I've had great fun with my TG-3 and the new features of the TG-5 are tempting. (One thing that's bad on the TG-3 is the audio track...

Fair point: sea water is a far different animal than fresh water or back yard pool water.

Surely not for underwater?

For above-water, you're basically using it like a cellphone camera.
