I get excellent macro from the TG6 and use landscape mode 16 x 9 for wider shots.

Slightly negative but you want that.
I can set the tray down and take video and get really stable shots as the tray stays put. In the second video directly under the crab at around 25 second mark you can see a glass see through shrimp go right under the crab. I only saw it when I watched the video in full screen.
