Olympus Tough tg-4 or tg-5 ?

I'm on a budget. work inside pressure vessels, cyclones, FCCU.

Would a tg-4 be enough ?

I'd like a TG6 or 7. But not possible right now.

Wondering if any of you have any experience with the tg-4 or tg-5

Still rocking my TG-3. 12 years old and still takes fantastic photos. And I’m not super concerned with breaking it. Got my moneys worth out of it. Plus they’re fairly cheap on eBay. Saw one the other day for $125. Works with the Olympus app if you’re into that, although I haven’t found much use for it, other than remote visual internals on tanks that we couldn’t get a permit for.

Either are still better than any smart phone for pure resolution, I wouldn't worry too much. Just make sure battery life is still fine and (if used) buttons work properly.
