Testing out the New Olympus TG-5
We just bought the new Olympus TG-5 camera so that we would have a nice P/S that was also capable of taking 4k video, was waterproof and could take it if we were to drop it. As much as I love to use my Olympus EM-1, sometimes carrying it is not practical. This p/s seemed to fit the requirements we had and since we already shoot Olympus the learning curve to the menu system is minimized.A few samples from the camera (all in jpeg, although the camera does shoot raw)Wild Daisies in the backyard

Pro Capture is a new tool from Olympus that allows you to anticipate the action and by a half press grab the shots as they start. These were taking about a 1/2 mile away standing on that walking bridge you may be able to see in the middle of the above photo. No edits except a heavy crop.
Lastly, first video from the camera. The only editing was to cut dead time at end of each clip and to merge them togetherCamera was on a tripod and operated via the Olympus app remote.
I think once I learn all the ins and outs this is going to be the p/s we were looking for :)Have a great day!
