    I’m looking for a decent camera to shove in my pocket for multi-day trips. This will replace a Canon D30 which has been OK but I’ve never felt I’ve got a really decent picture out of it.

    The TG-5 tough looks good to me. Any opinions/alternatives

    it does it well

    can only imagine the 5 is better at it

    Not used the olympus, but I’d be seriously considering a Go-Pro as an alternative. I know some people set them up to take a still every 15 seconds. You just point your head in the right direction, rather than missing the shot or deciding you’re enjoying the trail run and you can’t be bothered to stop and get the camera out. And you’ll probably get some decent shots your wouldn’t have taken or weren’t expecting.

    I’ve had a Tg1 for years, and it’s been faultless as a point and shoot, on the outside of a pack, snorkelling, sailing, skiing, etc camera.

    Go-Pro is a versatile camera, so you can’t go wrong with it.
