Canon G9 X vs Olympus TG-810

The following is a extensive overview of the Canon G9 X and Olympus TG-810, one is a Large Sensor Compact and the other is a Waterproof by companies Canon and Olympus. There exists a crucial gap between the resolutions of the G9 X (20MP) and TG-810 (14MP) and the G9 X (1") and TG-810 (1/2.3") boast different sensor size.

The G9 X was introduced 4 years after the TG-810 which is quite a serious gap as far as technology is concerned. Both cameras have the same body design (Compact).

Before we go into a comprehensive comparison, here is a brief summary of how the G9 X scores vs the TG-810 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon PowerShot G9 X and Olympus TG-810. The whole galleries are available at Canon G9 X Gallery and Olympus TG-810 Gallery.

If you're looking to travel with your camera regularly, you should think about its weight and proportions. The Canon G9 X features external measurements of 98mm x 58mm x 31mm (3.9" x 2.3" x 1.2") accompanied by a weight of 209 grams (0.46 lbs) whilst the Olympus TG-810 has measurements of 100mm x 65mm x 26mm (3.9" x 2.6" x 1.0") having a weight of 215 grams (0.47 lbs).

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you use during that time. Here is a front view measurement comparison of the G9 X against the TG-810.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability score of the G9 X and TG-810 is 92 and 92 respectively.

Sometimes, it is hard to picture the contrast between sensor dimensions purely by reading specifications. The picture here will offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the G9 X and TG-810.

To sum up, both the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The G9 X using its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Canon G9 X will deliver more detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos more aggressively. The more recent G9 X should have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
