With UW, and esp with snorkeling, technology isn't always the first answer. And it's the same sensor class as the TG.Īs often is the case, you might post some examples of the pics that you'd like to improve upon. It also has a further minimum focus distance (12"), which may or may not matter for swimming. The Sealife doesn't take RAW, which is a pretty big detriment when you're at the surface and won't be able to include lighting. I have also found out that there's a SeaLife Reefmaster 4K, which could be an idea. Larger sensors usually mean bigger lenses, and higher price, which means less plastic. But you'd like it smaller/lighter than the TG6? That combo could be impossible to get. So you're interested in going to a larger sensor. And I'd guess that in the three years since the TG6 was published, there should be a better alternative. It's not on the list because the image quality isn't that great, and I would like an improvement size-wise. I think the general consensus is going to be to get the Olympus TG6, its a great camera for what you are trying to do and its also less expensive than the other cameras you have mentioned. The smaller the camera the easier it is to drop it. The Sony RX0 II seems fine - but somehow my general feeling is that it's strange that there's no real "up-to-date" alternative? Got any thoughts, recommendations and all? I am a bit skeptic about the GoPro, since it's main aim is to produce videos, so photos are just a by-product. I cant find any specifics on the lens but its a wide angle lens for sure ,waterproof down to 33ft Waterproof to 16ft, i dont know anything else about this camera This is a fixed lens at 24mm F4 (equivalent), according to sony its waterproof Special requirement: I want to use this mainly (like 95%) for stills for which I'd love to get the best image quality. (I did this with the Olympus Tough 6, which I attached to my trunks via a simple strap. Looking for an ultra compact or action cam to take along with me while swimming (open water, sea, must endure hours in the water.
