- Taking the Olympus TG-5 out to see how it is at night. Trying out different settings to see if I can get better shots. Part of my series with the TG-5 to learn its limits and capabilities.

"Some crazy guy over there talking to himself ... like me!" Ha!
Maybe he was vlogging too?
WoW !! I am really impressed what you can do with a camera like this! Now i really believe that is not only the gear but the man who is behind the gear. Nice video.
Thanks. I try.
thank u for sharing this low light test for tg5, which is really helpful for me❤
Glad it was helpful!
Great shots Rob and the video was also really good. I love your down to earth approach. How fun it would be to do a photo walk with you, your so creative~
Thanks. I try. I like doing these vlogs so I can get out and practice.
Excellent photo walk. I really like the 2nd and 3rd shot of the interior of that building. The others were also very good.
Thank you very much for your time and effort.
Thanks for watching. Not the cameras fault, I'm just not quite there yet. Need to get some more practice with it.
Nice video, TG 5 still good night video, I'm looking waterproof and shock proof compact camera for hiking
I'm getting to really know this camera, so can say it will be great for hiking!
Nice picture, looking forward to the comparison to the em10 and your tips for the tg5
Thanks. The pictures where okay, not great. Not the cameras fault. I get a little better each time I go out. The weather today sucked, so couldn't get out to do a comparison.
Interesting seeing empty streets in a downtown environment - this coming from a guy who grew up in Toronto and lived downtown most weekends in my youth.....now the serenity of a small town on Vancouver Island gives a much more sedate lifestyle.....again, thanks for the look.....you keep pluggin' away with good content !
It was really cold out and about 10pm. I would love to move to a smaller town near the Smoky Mountains.
Great stuff Rob, love the way you use what you have and make great shots without all the la test and greatest. You’re real mate and that makes a huge difference!!. 😎🇦🇺👍
Thank you!
Great stuff as usual, Rob
Thanks!
Nice work Rob.
Thank you!
THANKS, Rob! This is helpful since I was thinking of getting the TG-5 for knock around and remote shutter use. Believe it or not, it's not so much the camera but the x@!z** completely unreliable OI Share App that keeps me from purchasing. I wonder how many camera sales Olympus loses simply because of that (great cameras, horrible app). On my OMD's mine has never worked for more than a minute using both iPhones and Android.
By the way, you are certainly right about prices. I was raised over in the McLean/Langley area in a medium sized home purchased for $69K - Now...$900K. In the many cities and towns I've lived in since, it could never be more than 180-250K, tops. Wow.
The app works better on my newer cheapo phone than my main flagship phone going on 5 years now. I keep looking at phones, but haven't found a valid reason to justify spending that kind of money.
@@RobTrek I hear ya. That is encouraging since I am not about to leave the Olympus world. Mind sharing the cheapo brand and model - maybe THAT - simplicity? - is the key. I'll find one on c-list or a refurb perhaps, and just use it as a dedicated olympus device.
The reason we enjoy watching you is, that you might just call yourself "Just a guy with a camera" you are not trying to sell us one, but take better pictures with the one we have.
Thanks. You've nailed the main point of my channel. Many have commented that they almost got rid of their camera before seeing my videos.
All the photographs are very nice along with video all good, it could be a top camera for video on UA-cam from what I see.
Thanks. I think it has potential. I like the super small size and weight. I need to practice some more with it and work out some better settings. The af is killing me.
Very good review
Thank you!
Nice video, loved the remark on raw and jpeg an the can of worms ;-) I understand what you mean and believe the means must survey the purpose. Actually after your vlogs on the art filters I’ be been using them with pleasure without even going in pos with those pics.
Thanks. I only process raw for my paid work. Actually, time to time, I forget to set raw and use jpgs in paid work.
Great stuff as always Rob. Do you still use your Pen F? Haven't seen much of it in a long time.
Thanks. I took it out a couple of times for vlogs this month but the pictures I took were awful and the vlogs did not demonstrate what I was trying to share. I was playing with the color modes and color wheel trying to emulate kodachrome film and fujifilm. I even used a vintage olympus lens for the total experience of manual shooting. I'll come back to it soon. Thanks for asking!
The new Olympus EMX (or whatever...) is coming out in a few days. Any plans of checking that one out with some videos for us?
Not sure I can justify buying it when it comes out. Would love to do some videos on it. It has some exciting rumored features. I doubt Olympus even knows I exist, so no chance of getting one to test.
not sure if you said.. what shutter speeds are you shooting at? Also are you spot metering the lights?
It varied between 1/5 and 1/30th. I posted the exposure settings on instagram. The exposure settings are also next to each picture in this vlog, but I know they might be too small to read if watching on a phone. I did not spot meter, simply dialed in -0.3 to -1.3 ev depending on what I thought would work for the scene. I think I underexposed a bit too much trying to keep my shutter speeds up and iso low.
4.5mm really wow
4.5mm is really 25mm in full frame terms.
@@RobTrek really 25mm but its to much wide.
Confused by the title. "not made for this!' sounds bad, like the camera is being "panned" for this use. But watching the video, it seems this camera is being regarded as very good and recommended for this use. So, what's the true opinion here?
I understand. The point I was making was even though the tg5 is marketed as a tough point and shoot, one can still get good results. So it's the title "its not made for this" just meant that it's not made as a night street photography camera but I took it out and used it like that anyway.
Hi Rob
I have the olympus e-m10 2, how do I move my pictures from my camara to my facebook page so people can see them.
Hi. You can do it the same way you move pictures from your computer to facebook. Check this video. ua-cam.com/video/nWA3KIDGQbk/v-deo.html
Not bad for a light challenged 1/2.3" sensor.
It did okay. I'm not liking the grain pattern too much, unlike the em10 which is less unpleasant.
I know I'm cra,y but I got a new Tg6. For $333.
You're not crazy! It's a fun camera to pocket everywhere. It really is "tough". It can take great pictures. I have a few other vlogs with this camera you can check out. Here's a pic I took handheld instagram.com/p/B8urFn7nNmP/?
@@RobTrek I see how you slowed the shutter speed to get that blur in the water and 100 iso to get the best color saturation like using kodachrome 64 in the film days.
