Hello all,
I currently own a Nikon D800 and D40, both of which I a very happy with. The problem is that I don't always want to lug around a DSLR everywhere I go. Also, I love deep woods backpacking, kayaking in the ocean, mudding, and pretty much every other type of recreational activity you wouldn't want to take thousands of dollars worth of camera equipment to.
I'm looking for a compact camera that 1. I can slip in my pocket for when I go out with my friends, 2. can withstand the weather when I am out on my wilderness adventures. (I'm mostly concerned about rain and sub-freezing temperatures), and 3. still yields a high image quality.
Price is not a huge issue as long as it's not in the same range as a high quality DSLR.
At first I considered the Gopro, and other similar action cameras, but after a bit of research, I'm convinced those are not what I am looking for. I'm currently seriously considering the Olympus Tough TG-1 iHS.
If anyone has experience with this camera, or suggestions as to any other camera I may like I would highly appreciate it.
