Honestly i dont see this replacing TG series as favorite compact for underwater use.

This seems to be aimed for professionals on worksites ect. Webpage advertises first features like what disinfectancts it can be scrubbed down with if you take to processing plants, which sounds like its not really aimed for consumers.

Price is also $300 more than TG.

Im pretty sure we wont see any housings made for this.

    I was looking at the macro capabilities and resolution, which aren't being highlighted in their marketing campaign.

     

    1cm minimum focus distance in macro mode.

    20 megapixel sensor

     

    Agree with you that a $300 price difference may be a big deal in this category.

    Here's a screenshot from DPReview on its specs. Looks like program exposure only if this is correct, so it wouldn't do for underwater photography.
