Fujifilm JX500 vs Olympus TG-3

Let's look much closer at the Fujifilm JX500 versus Olympus TG-3, one being a Small Sensor Compact and the other is a Waterproof by manufacturers FujiFilm and Olympus. The sensor resolution of the Fujifilm JX500 (14MP) and the TG-3 (16MP) is fairly comparable and they come with the exact same sensor dimensions (1/2.3").

The Fujifilm JX500 was unveiled 3 years prior to the TG-3 and that is a fairly large gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before we go in to a comprehensive comparison, below is a simple summation of how the Fujifilm JX500 scores versus the TG-3 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Fujifilm FinePix JX500 and Olympus Tough TG-3. The full galleries are available at Fujifilm JX500 Gallery and Olympus TG-3 Gallery.

If you're planning to lug around your camera, you need to factor its weight and volume.

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you use at that moment. The following is the front view physical size comparison of the Fujifilm JX500 versus the TG-3.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the Fujifilm JX500 and TG-3 is 95 and 90 respectively.

Normally, it's tough to picture the contrast in sensor measurements only by going through a spec sheet. The photograph here will help offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm JX500 and TG-3.

Clearly, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different resolution. You should anticipate the Olympus TG-3 to show greater detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos much more aggressively. The older Fujifilm JX500 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
