Casio EX-10 vs Olympus TG-610

Let's take a more detailed look at the Casio EX-10 and Olympus TG-610, former being a Small Sensor Compact while the latter is a Waterproof by brands Casio and Olympus. The sensor resolution of the EX-10 (12MP) and the TG-610 (14MP) is pretty comparable but the EX-10 (1/1.7") and TG-610 (1/2.3") posses different sensor measurements.

The EX-10 was released 2 years later than the TG-610 and that is a fairly large difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of these cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before delving into a in depth comparison, here is a concise highlight of how the EX-10 grades versus the TG-610 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Keep in mind, the weight of an ILC will change depending on the lens you have attached at that moment. Below is a front view dimension comparison of the EX-10 vs the TG-610.

Considering size and weight, the portability grade of the EX-10 and TG-610 is 83 and 93 respectively.

Often, it is difficult to picture the difference in sensor measurements only by checking out specs. The graphic here may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-10 and TG-610.

All in all, each of the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The EX-10 because of its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field simpler and the Olympus TG-610 will produce extra detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The younger EX-10 should have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
