The FE-4000 was brought out 5 years prior to the TG-3 which is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras offer the identical body type (Compact).

Before delving in to a detailed comparison, below is a concise highlight of how the FE-4000 matches up against the TG-3 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Olympus FE-4000 and Olympus Tough TG-3. The entire galleries are available at Olympus FE-4000 Gallery and Olympus TG-3 Gallery.

For those who are planning to carry around your camera often, you are going to need to consider its weight and dimensions.

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you have chosen at that moment. Here is the front view overall size comparison of the FE-4000 and the TG-3.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the FE-4000 and TG-3 is 95 and 90 respectively.

Quite often, it is very tough to picture the gap between sensor sizes simply by reviewing a spec sheet. The pic below should offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the FE-4000 and TG-3.

Clearly, the two cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit different megapixels. You should count on the Olympus TG-3 to offer greater detail having its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs far more aggressively. The more aged FE-4000 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
