I had the TS5. TS6 looked identical - except for a couple of baby picture settings (why - on a drop / freeze / waterproof camera?). Emailed - uses the same battery, etc. I had extra batteries from the TS5 so I bought it. Out of the box it looked 99%+ the same. But it felt a hair lighter and just a bit flimsier. I looked closer. The only real visible difference is my TS5 was made in Japan, and the TS6 is made in China. Not happy. Seems to work OK so far. Buyer beware.

Purchased for work, did not need the under water so much but used a friends before and these cameras are tough as nails. Take great pictures too.
