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
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
See I love cameras like this that you can put through it and not care about giving it some knocks. It’s something I’ve somewhat overlooked until recently 🖖
@DavidFlowerOfficial 100% mate. It's actually quite liberating being out in the field and just concentrating on your composition. Top video, enjoyed that one. Stumbled upon it by chance but subbed
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
Thanks, mate. Yeah it’s kinda bonkers to me that the channel has got this far. Fingers crossed for 10k by the end of the year 🤞😁 Thanks for watching, Grant🖖
@@DavidFlowerOfficial Your doing a great job mate - 90% of Channels NEVER Get to 10,000 Subscribers!!! So you are doing something right :) Hopefully I'll get their by the end of the year too! Well, thats my goal anyway!!! lol
@grantrobertdavies Yes! It’s a bit mad when you start looking at the numbers regarding channels. I think the first of your videos I saw was the “GH5 in 2023” video and that was when I subbed (and bought a GH5 in 2023😂) Keep them coming, mate 🖖
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.
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.
I absolutely love these point and shoot cameras and I think in the right hands they’re incredibly capable. That Canon G10 though😍 Thanks for watching 🖖
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!
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😂
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.
@@DavidFlowerOfficial Yer out with a Dwarf camera shooting a Dwarf scurrying to hide behind his cone while you're on the way to D'warf (the significance of which you try to conceal by calling it [poncy talk] a 'Marina'). Open and shut case, fellah. (ps 'sploitate'! what a good word....)
When I was looking into this type of camera I was actually surprised at how many companies make or have made them. Might be interesting to see how they compare to one another 🖖
@RealBesty Yeah I hadn’t seen them either, but I found models from Kodak, Ricoh, Nikon, Fujifilm and Lumix. I can definitely see one of these joining the collection as a bad weather camera so I don’t need to break out a big old dslr👍

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

Appreciate that, mate thanks. Enjoy the rest of the weekend 🖖
Thanks David for the nice video! Keep up the good work 😃👍
Thanks for watching. Have a great weekend 🖖
Great video and photos, thanks for making this 👍🖖
Thanks for watching🖖😁
that pedestrian sign photo is hilarious
I just love stupid things like that😂
My canon g9 fom 2007 is still my yewell...loooove that sensor and colors....

I wish I’d pounced on the lx100 a few years back before the prices went crazy. It’s one that I’ll almost certainly own at some point🖖
Great Video Dave :) Your almost at 10,000 Subs :) Keep it going!!! Woot!!!

@@DavidFlowerOfficial LOL Time has flown by!!! - Yes, It's a great camera :) in 2022, 2023 and 2024 :)
Loving those shots mate - definitely shows when you got your eye in and got used to the camera!
Yeah it took me a minute but I got there in the end. I think an Olympus Tough made it onto my shopping list after this😁
@@DavidFlowerOfficial just think of the weather it can put up with - quite handy seeing it's been astonishingly bad so far this year! 🤣
@LeighWPhotos Yeah I still need a bad weather camera that isn’t a big old dslr😂
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.
Yeah, I never really considered one of these cameras until talking with Leigh. The ones Ricoh make look wild🖖
Great video! Had that one for a while myself 🖖🏻
Thanks, Alex. Have a great weekend, mate🖖

Thanks for watching 🖖
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 🖖

Great camera with some cool accessories available. Nice pics. I had the TG5 and somehow managed to break it.😢
Leigh had with him the little flash ring accessory for macro that I thought was a cool idea. Fantastic little cameras🖖
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 ?
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.
What are your thoughts on the G16?
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 🖖
On another note, I may be selling my Olympus E-M1X to fund an Olympus E-P7 and maybe a different lens.
The EP7 looks a lot like pen-f right? That’s quite a downside 🖖😁
Good video, nice photos👍
Thanks very much🖖
I've had enough - reporting this for Dwarfsploitation.
Which dwarves did I sploitate?😂

@luzr6613 Haha, I will make it my mission to use ‘sploitate’ in conversation now with the sole intention of creating confusion 😂
Are there enough other similarly-tough cameras to make a video about?
When I was looking into this type of camera I was actually surprised at how many companies make or have made them. Might be interesting to see how they compare to one another 🖖
@@DavidFlowerOfficial interesting - I can hardly think of any. Given how few affordable DSLRs have weather sealing, these make a lot of sense :)

Check out Panasonic TS7 and Ricoh WG-6.
@bingbong4848 the Ricoh ones look great🖖
