I own the older TG-3 and I can say it is a great camera. The TG-4 adds a few more features.
I am a big Canon fan, especially for DSLR and day to day point and shoot. I was getting tired of purchasing underwater cases for the Canon cameras. So, I did some research and went with the TG-3. I love the TG-3. It is well made, the waterproof feature is great for snorkeling or being outside in rough weather. The GPS feature as well works great. It locks on a signal pretty quickly - much faster then the older Sony I had. The built in Wifi is also well thought out and easy to pair with a phone or tablet. Great to see live shots remotely - then activate the zoom and/or shutter. Very cool. Also note that the lens is an F2.0. This camera does a great job in low light situations - like restaurants for foodie photos!
As Zerbra6K said, the Macro is the real star. It does an incredible job with close up photography (ie, flowers) plus you can purchase a pretty inexpensive light ring made for the camera for even lighting.
Last - the photos look great!!! This is now my go to, throw in a pocket, take on a hike or event camera.
The TG-4 inherits all this and builds on it.

JGranaI'm also a Canon FF user and had a Pana wp. Yes apple to oranges but RX100 and G7X > TG4, see dpreview, for those that seldom go under water and are willing to pay a premium for portable IQ. Wp cameras also lose their seal integrity and stop working whereas my kid is still playing with my 8y old Canon P&S. Just wanted to inform ppl. I'm still interested in the TG4 though for our ocean vacays!

JGranado you have the light ring? I've been thinking about getting it, and I wondered if you've gotten good results!
