Olympus E-450 vs Olympus TG-610

Following is a extensive analysis of the Olympus E-450 versus Olympus TG-610, former is a Entry-Level DSLR while the other is a Waterproof and both of them are created by Olympus. There exists a large gap between the resolutions of the E-450 (10MP) and TG-610 (14MP) and the E-450 (Four Thirds) and TG-610 (1/2.3") offer different sensor sizes.

Normally, its hard to imagine the difference between sensor sizes purely by reading through a spec sheet. The pic below will give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the E-450 and TG-610.

Clearly, the two cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The E-450 due to its larger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field easier and the Olympus TG-610 will resolve more detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop images way more aggressively. The more aged E-450 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
