TG-4 or TG-5
Jun 6, 2017 08:48:28 #
Looking for a good rugged waterproof camera that will shoot RAW... The TG-4 seemed to fit the bill. But the new TG-5 is out this month and it has 4K video and the newer processor (better low light?)
BUT - resolution goes DOWN from 16MP to 12MP
Why? Any thoughts on which would be best for general use/underwater/etc.? Will that 4MP make a significant difference when set against the benefits of the newer processor, faster burst speeds and 4K video?
BTW - I know some of you don't see the point of 4K video - would rather we didn't go down that road on this thread thanks... let's just assume here that $K is "better" than 1080P for my purposes.

The newer processor will move the photo to the memory card faster, but have no effect on low light capabilities.
The difference between 16MP and 12MP is minimal and if anything the 12MP will be better in low light and color rendition because the pixels will be larger.
The TG-5 has improved ergonomics and better button placement than the TG-4.

The TG-5 might be too new to show up in comparisons, but give it a try. newer is generally better, with the exception of the D7500.
