Nikon P7100 vs Olympus TG-4

Let's look a bit more in depth at the Nikon P7100 vs Olympus TG-4, one is a Small Sensor Compact and the latter is a Waterproof by companies Nikon and Olympus. There exists a sizeable gap among the image resolutions of the P7100 (10MP) and TG-4 (16MP) and the P7100 (1/1.7") and TG-4 (1/2.3") posses different sensor measurements.

The P7100 was revealed 4 years prior to the TG-4 which is a fairly large gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before diving right into a detailed comparison, here is a quick summary of how the P7100 matches up versus the TG-4 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Nikon Coolpix P7100 and Olympus Tough TG-4. The full galleries are viewable at Nikon P7100 Gallery and Olympus TG-4 Gallery.

In case you're looking to travel with your camera, you're going to have to think about its weight and proportions.

Quite often, its difficult to visualize the gap in sensor dimensions purely by viewing a spec sheet. The pic here may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the P7100 and TG-4.

Clearly, each of the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The P7100 having a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF less difficult and the Olympus TG-4 will provide you with more detail because of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures way more aggressively. The more aged P7100 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
