Title: GoPro vs Oly TG-5 vs Nikon W300
Post by: SomeoneSomewhere on June 14, 2018, 05:03

Hello and greetings.

I would like to ask for some help/experience from someone who had used these equipment or who have experience in
footage/video.

What im interested in is
- does any of those cameras can be "good enough" for making 4k footage that will be/can be excepted by stock sites (after pp ofc).
And if can, which of them would you recomend???

I mean for shooting footage in extreme situations, like underwater, heavy rain, stormy weather, mud, rivers, swamps and similar.

Thank you.

My TG5 has paid for itself really quick, you can see some footage here, all water shots were shot with it.  Footage near end of review. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0heMBHlwK_U (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0heMBHlwK_U)

Hello,
thank you for advice, i have a question for you as a user of tg-5,

does it have manual controls in video mode, can you fix iso, aperture, shutter speed  or its all auto?
And can you suggest any good hand held stabilization for it..some that can take rough weather and water...

Thank you.
