I've owned a TG1 for several years and it's served me well. Unfortunately last week it decided it didn't like cave diving after all and had a complete nervous breakdown after letting in a bit of water. I've dried it out but it looks like it's going to sulk permanently.
1. Is it definitely knackered (or is there any way to fix it cost effectively)?
2. Does anyone know of a proper shop with old stock of new TG1s where I might buy a replacement?
3. As the answers to the above are likely to be "yes" and "no" respectively, can anyone confirm whether the fisheye lens and converter which I have for my TG1 will fit the currently available models of TG cameras? (I've looked online but some information I saw left me uncertain.)
The TG1 hasn't been made for a number of years but I like its (relative) simplicity, so buying a new one of this model would be my first choice. I guess that's a long shot though. Having had good use of my TG1 I don't really want to go down the 2nd hand route with something as finnicky as a camera.
Thanks, if you can help.
