Leica M10 vs Olympus TG-610

Lets take a closer look at the Leica M10 versus Olympus TG-610, former being a Pro Mirrorless while the other is a Waterproof by companies Leica and Olympus. There exists a considerable gap among the sensor resolutions of the M10 (24MP) and TG-610 (14MP) and the M10 (Full frame) and TG-610 (1/2.3") enjoy totally different sensor sizes.

The M10 was released 6 years later than the TG-610 and that is a fairly large difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras come with different body type with the Leica M10 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Olympus TG-610 being a Compact camera.

Before delving through a thorough comparison, below is a short overview of how the M10 matches up vs the TG-610 for portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Leica M10 & Olympus TG-610. The complete galleries are provided at Leica M10 Gallery & Olympus TG-610 Gallery.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the M10 and TG-610 is 75 and 93 respectively.

Quite often, it is very difficult to visualise the difference in sensor sizing purely by researching specifications. The photograph here will help offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the M10 and TG-610.

To sum up, the 2 cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The M10 because of its larger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF simpler and the Leica M10 will render greater detail as a result of its extra 10MP. Greater resolution will let you crop images much more aggressively. The newer M10 will have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
