Olympus Tough TG-3 vs TG-4 (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I'm in the market for a compact, but durable camera to complement my dumbphone, but also be a potential gateway to 1080p amateur photography, mostly nature and street photography. I've narrowed my search to either the Olympus Tough TG-3 or TG-4, but I can't decide which one to get.

They have mostly identical specs, but have a few minor differences:

-TG-3 has manual exposure and TG-4 doesn't.

-TG-4 has manual focus and a live composite mode, as well as access to RAW format, with a slightly better battery.

Based on that, what does the community think might be the better option?

I think the random review site I looked at had some wrong data, a different one comfirms there's no manual exposure. If OP could get your hands on one to try before buying, that'd be ideal, but might be unlikely to find in a local shop considering the age of these models.

I definitely agree, RAW seems like the most useful upgrade out of the things listed (with full manual focus being a bonus)
