Nikon S33 vs Olympus TG-5

Here, we will be comparing the Nikon S33 versus Olympus TG-5, one is a Small Sensor Compact and the latter is a Waterproof by brands Nikon and Olympus. The resolution of the S33 (13MP) and the TG-5 (12MP) is relatively similar but the S33 (1/3.1") and TG-5 (1/2.3") offer different sensor measurements.

The S33 was released 3 years before the TG-5 which is quite a serious gap as far as tech is concerned. Each of these cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before we go right into a complete comparison, here is a concise introduction of how the S33 matches up versus the TG-5 for portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Nikon Coolpix S33 and Olympus Tough TG-5. The complete galleries are viewable at Nikon S33 Gallery and Olympus TG-5 Gallery.

If you are intending to carry around your camera regularly, you will need to think about its weight and dimensions.

Generally, it is very difficult to visualize the gap between sensor sizes purely by reviewing a spec sheet. The image underneath should provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the S33 and TG-5.

Clearly, the 2 cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The S33 due to its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Nikon S33 will offer greater detail as a result of its extra 1 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs way more aggressively. The more aged S33 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
