Olympus E-410 vs Olympus TG-820 iHS

Here is a in depth comparison of the Olympus E-410 versus Olympus TG-820 iHS, one being a Entry-Level DSLR and the other is a Waterproof and both are produced by Olympus. The resolution of the E-410 (10MP) and the TG-820 iHS (12MP) is very similar but the E-410 (Four Thirds) and TG-820 iHS (1/2.3") enjoy totally different sensor measurements.

The E-410 was introduced 5 years before the TG-820 iHS and that is quite a big gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of the cameras come with different body type with the Olympus E-410 being a Compact SLR camera and the Olympus TG-820 iHS being a Compact camera.

Before delving through a detailed comparison, below is a quick view of how the E-410 grades vs the TG-820 iHS when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Olympus E-410 and Olympus TG-820 iHS. The whole galleries are available at Olympus E-410 Gallery and Olympus TG-820 iHS Gallery.

In case you're intending to carry your camera regularly, you should factor its weight and size. The Olympus E-410 comes with external dimensions of 130mm x 91mm x 53mm (5.1" x 3.6" x 2.1") and a weight of 435 grams (0.96 lbs) whilst the Olympus TG-820 iHS has specifications of 101mm x 65mm x 26mm (4.0" x 2.6" x 1.0") having a weight of 206 grams (0.45 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you are working with at that moment. The following is the front view dimension comparison of the E-410 versus the TG-820 iHS.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability grade of the E-410 and TG-820 iHS is 77 and 92 respectively.

Often, its hard to see the gap between sensor sizing merely by reviewing a spec sheet. The graphic below might give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the E-410 and TG-820 iHS.

Clearly, both the cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The E-410 having a larger sensor will make shooting bokeh less difficult and the Olympus TG-820 iHS will deliver more detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics much more aggressively. The older E-410 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
