Playing with my new #OM #TG7 camera. Trying to find a good durable weather resistant travel/ #hiking camera. Really disappointed many cameras don't have built-in GPS tagging anymore. I don't want to have to be tied to my phone in any way, I don't want to deal with post processing and matching up timestamps.
The TG-7 seems to ticks those boxes, but at the cost of a relatively small sensor and some other questionable specs. Though I do appreciate it's ruggedness, supposed to survive 7' drops? Sure!
Not 100% sold on it yet, probably going to return it just on the lack of manual controls alone. A couple of photos in and around #astoria #nyc this evening. I do appreciate the macro mode, captures some good details.
If anyone has any good #travel #compact #cameras recommendations please give me a shout! Also looking at the #Ricoh #GR3 as another possible option.

Brought the OM #TG7 out #hiking today.
Still pretty whelmed. It does a very passable job on the macro side of things. I really feel like the sensor size is holding it back on the harder lighting conditions. It really misses the depth and detail.
Dealing with the goofy buried menus to get the various settings is cumbersome, especially in chilly weather. Really do miss the more manual controls and the simplicity they offer.
Really impressed with the stability and speed of the GPS acquisition though. I didn't even have to think about it. Huge plus for me.
Still on the fence.

Also, finally #NeedleIce season! Always so amazed at the little icicle formations.
