The Sport was announced 5 years prior to the TG-4 which is quite a serious gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of these cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before getting straight into a thorough comparison, below is a quick synopsis of how the Sport grades versus the TG-4 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Kodak EasyShare Sport and Olympus Tough TG-4. The whole galleries are provided at Kodak Sport Gallery and Olympus TG-4 Gallery.

Generally, it's difficult to picture the contrast between sensor sizes only by reading through a spec sheet. The picture below might offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the Sport and TG-4.

Clearly, both of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different megapixels. You should expect to see the Olympus TG-4 to resolve more detail with its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will let you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more aged Sport is going to be behind in sensor technology.
