I had strobe connection issues one day of the trip (I haven't had any for a long time, so I guess I was due) but it did give me the opportunity to play with my backup camera without distraction. It is an Olympus TG-4, using only the built-in flash. One of the things I like about the TG-4 (besides its robustness) is that it has a stunning micro mode, which is great for people like me who like tiny things (like dew drops). You can't get that close with the built-in flash, but it still does a pretty good job.
