Compact cameras are amongst my favourites of all the cameras I own and none moreso than the Canon Powershot G10, so when ‪@LeighWPhotos‬ asked if I'd like to make a video using his Olympus Tough TG6, of course I said yes!
Can it dethrone the Canon G10 as King Compact?

I've long been tempted to pick up an Olympus Tough camera so I can go out in the utterly epic monsoon rain we get here in the Philippines and take street shots

That sounds like the perfect environment for a camera like the TG6🖖

I do it in Taiwan. I'm not a serious photographer nor do I even know that much about photography but think what I get is better than what you see on the news.

I bought a TG-7 a few months back and I absolutely love it. Used it for street, macro and even my sons football matches. 20fps and 1080p 60fps is actually really good. Dont have to baby it like my Canon M50

On the subject of point and shoots, I just ordered a Lumix LX-100 for travel, concerts, EDC a couple days ago. Taking it on a little concert trip next weekend with my wife. Super stoked. Next p&s I'm thinking Nikon p7800 or Olympus Stylus 1S

One of my best P&S cameras was an Olympus model...cannot remember the exact model but it rocked...it was so small and the shots comparable to my gf of the time's DSLR in many cases, and it even had a pretty functional optical zoom around 24x or something. I think it was 12MP. I gave it to my Mom and she probably still has it all these years later. I kinda want it back lol. I remember it only being around $300, too.

Hi Dave, I purchased a second hand TG4 a couple of years ago mainly for the underwater facility. But I was surprised at how good it was for general photography in particular the ‘macro’ feature. I always take it with my on beach holidays as it’s perfect.

@DavidFlowerOfficial 3 ай бұрын

Yeah, I never really considered one of these cameras until talking with Leigh. The ones Ricoh make look wild🖖

There's just something about the CCD sensor though. I have a G10 and a G1x. Both are excellent cameras, but... that G10 is just something different.

Yeah absolutely. That G10 is a special camera. Thanks for watching 🖖

@tomfenn7149 3 ай бұрын

Yes, it’s an interesting street shooter the TG-6. The results very much remind me of what my Ricoh GRD IV is capable of, but it has the speed of a GR III. I love the fact that it’s waterproof too. Try going out in the pissing rain with a Ricoh!

@DavidFlowerOfficial 3 ай бұрын

It really does surprise me at this point that so many premium cameras have terrible or no weather sealing. I remember shooting Silverstone with my old Nikon dslrs in terrible weather and they never skipped a beat. I certainly don’t have that much faith in most of my current cameras surviving those conditions with the exception of the EM1 mkii maybe😂

I’ve not used it so I can’t really say. I’d expect it to be a step or two up from the G10 though 🖖

@Koji-888 Ай бұрын

Do you always brighten and add color to every photo in post.? Can’t you just adjust your camera settings so you don’t need to fiddle with them later ?

@DavidFlowerOfficial Ай бұрын

To get the best out of any camera you’re better shooting in raw and in camera adjustments to colour profiles etc don’t affect raw files so adjustments are applied later. If JPEGs are sufficient for your needs, then in camera adjustments are possible but depending on the camera, there is only so much that can be done.
