Some time ago I asked for opinions of the Olympus TG-5 vs. a similar camera from Nikon. I decided to purchase the TG-5. I purchased two TG-5 cameras by accident and decided to give them to both of my sons. My order disappeared from my screen so I re-did it and by magic two cameras are delivered. Yes, I got billed for two. One son is a naval architect/marine engineer and the other a professional chef. I think both will enjoy and make good use of them. The cameras are much more complex (sophisticated?) than I anticipated but appear to be a good choice. Thanks for your advice to all who offered their opinions.

Got my TG-5 several weeks ago and am quite pleased with it. Images less sharp when using telephoto. Otherwise it has more features than I need but appears to be suitable as an everyday carry camera.

One peculiarity is when I upload images to Facebook, every one shows the EXIF caption OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA. I did some research and found this to be a quirk with some/all/most Olympus cameras; at least, there are plenty of complaints about it on Google.
