Waterproof Camera: Olympus Tough or GoPro???

2 years 8 months ago #713784 by Joey-Quirk
Hello, I'm a landscape photographer (@joeyquirk) and am going on a Caribbean trip this summer.  I want to play with a bunch of water photos and can't decide what to buy.  I have a Canon 5D m4, but I don't want a housing for it, because of size and am looking for something compact I can just carry everywhere.

I've narrowed it down (I think) to the Olympus Tough TG-6, or the new GoPro 9, and can't decide!  Mind you that I don't care about video, and am only looking for the better option for still photography.  I'll also be getting a dome add on for over/under shots, but will decide on a camera first, then get the appropriate dome.  Thoughts????

Is photography in the Caribbeans an essential business or they have heard nothing of COVID19?

I would vote for the Olympus but I think we are trying to compare a horse with a giraffe here.
