The E-330 was announced 6 years earlier than the TG-820 iHS which is quite a big gap as far as tech is concerned. Each of the cameras have different body design with the Olympus E-330 being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Olympus TG-820 iHS being a Compact camera.

Before we go into a detailed comparison, here is a brief view of how the E-330 scores versus the TG-820 iHS for portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Oftentimes, its hard to picture the contrast between sensor sizes simply by reviewing specifications. The picture here may give you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the E-330 and TG-820 iHS.

Plainly, both of these cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The E-330 using its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field simpler and the Olympus TG-820 iHS will offer you greater detail with its extra 5MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics more aggressively. The more aged E-330 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
