I'm in the market for a new camera. Have a Gopro 3 and its time for a change. Have you purchased the Olympus Tough TG? Your thoughts on it performance compared to a new or newer GoPro. Thanks
 
The fact that you can add and use strobes triggered via fiberoptic cable, get quite good macro shots without a macro lens, add a wide angle lens and dome make it a camera that will inherently last longer in that you won’t outgrow it as quickly, if you do.
 
I have an Olympus TG-5 and a GoPro Hero 3+. I mount the GoPro onto the cold shoe of the TG-5 underwater case. Just upgraded to the GoPro 7 Black. Figure I can have the best of both world where the GoPro is on for video and my TG-5 I use for Still shots.
