It would sure make sense for them to do some innovating in a form which would take advantage of the huge installed base of PT-059 housings. Like maybe add Vaquita-like depth correction maybe?

Hi Guys nothing official but this points to an upgrade with the same housing as they recently released a medical housing for the TG6 and the TG5 uses the same housing as the 6.

What is more likely is that OM System is planning a new TG-series camera that will use the same body design but make upgrades to the sensor or processor. The TG-5 and TG-6 changed little from the previous two iterations of the camera and both those point-and-shoots use the exact same camera casing down to the millimeter. Additionally, the button arrangement for the TG-5 and TG-6 is identical, meaning there is precedent that OM System has no problem upgrading the interior of the camera but keeping the exterior the same.

The camera is still available, but stock is finite.
