1080p in this day and age.

"Concerning video, the TG-7 records 4K/30p video and Full HD video at up to 120 frames per second."

So what has changed since the TG-6 besides the model name? It shoots 4k30fps or 1080p @120fps which is underwhelming. I would have picked this up as a second camera to get started with macro videos since I currently shoot only wide. Alas the specs…

Hmm the specs I saw on my phone earlier only showed 1080p. But even then 4k 30fps isn't great.

There is nothing substantially different from the tg6.
No manual mode.

Just like the latest version of the OMD 5III, the OM1 5, hardly any difference. I don't get it.

The important question for me now, should I get the new GoPro 12 or the TG-7? Which is a more capable camera for U/W use? I need a second camera that can do video well, for novices, and is a good back up still photo camera for my housed camera.

It is disappointing, but least it uses the same PT-059 housing...

they switched to USB-C

The lack of full manual is truly disappointing. I have two TG-5s that are showing the extreme wear I've put them through. Was waiting to update until the TG7 came out, assuming it would have full manual. Alas. USB-C is good at least, but not worth the MSRP of $550.
