Nikon P7000 vs Olympus TG-6

In this article, we are analyzing the Nikon P7000 versus Olympus TG-6, one being a Small Sensor Compact and the other is a Waterproof by rivals Nikon and Olympus. The image resolution of the P7000 (10MP) and the TG-6 (12MP) is very comparable but the P7000 (1/1.7") and TG-6 (1/2.3") possess different sensor sizing.

The P7000 was introduced 9 years prior to the TG-6 and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras offer the identical body type (Compact).

Before getting in to a in-depth comparison, below is a brief highlight of how the P7000 scores versus the TG-6 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Sometimes, it is very tough to imagine the difference in sensor sizing purely by checking out a spec sheet. The graphic underneath should provide you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the P7000 and TG-6.

Clearly, both cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The P7000 using its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Olympus TG-6 will show more detail using its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics a little more aggressively. The older P7000 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
