Canon SX740 HS vs Olympus TG-810

The following is a complete review of the Canon SX740 HS and Olympus TG-810, former is a Small Sensor Superzoom while the other is a Waterproof by brands Canon and Olympus. There exists a noticeable gap among the sensor resolutions of the SX740 HS (21MP) and TG-810 (14MP) but they use the exact same sensor sizes (1/2.3").

The SX740 HS was released 7 years after the TG-810 which is a fairly sizable difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before we go straight into a step-by-step comparison, below is a brief summation of how the SX740 HS matches up versus the TG-810 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon PowerShot SX740 HS & Olympus TG-810. The complete galleries are available at Canon SX740 HS Gallery & Olympus TG-810 Gallery.

In case you're planning to travel with your camera frequently, you will have to factor its weight and dimensions.

Remember that, the weight of an ILC will differ based on the lens you have attached at the time. Underneath is the front view scale comparison of the SX740 HS versus the TG-810.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the SX740 HS and TG-810 is 88 and 92 respectively.

Normally, it can be difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor dimensions only by researching a spec sheet. The pic underneath may provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the SX740 HS and TG-810.

As you can see, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different megapixels. You can anticipate the Canon SX740 HS to provide you with extra detail as a result of its extra 7MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The younger SX740 HS should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
