Olympus E-M5 III vs Olympus TG-3

Let's look more in depth at the Olympus E-M5 III vs Olympus TG-3, one is a Advanced Mirrorless and the latter is a Waterproof and both are manufactured by Olympus. There exists a sizeable gap among the sensor resolutions of the E-M5 III (20MP) and TG-3 (16MP) and the E-M5 III (Four Thirds) and TG-3 (1/2.3") have different sensor measurements.

The E-M5 III was revealed 5 years after the TG-3 which is a fairly large gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both cameras feature different body design with the Olympus E-M5 III being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Olympus TG-3 being a Compact camera.

Before we go into a more detailed comparison, here is a simple synopsis of how the E-M5 III grades against the TG-3 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

This is a preview of the gallery photos for Olympus OM-D E-M5 III and Olympus Tough TG-3. The full galleries are provided at Olympus E-M5 III Gallery and Olympus TG-3 Gallery.

For those who are intending to carry around your camera, you will have to think about its weight and dimensions. The Olympus E-M5 III provides exterior measurements of 125mm x 85mm x 50mm (4.9" x 3.3" x 2.0") and a weight of 414 grams (0.91 lbs) whilst the Olympus TG-3 has dimensions of 112mm x 66mm x 31mm (4.4" x 2.6" x 1.2") and a weight of 247 grams (0.54 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you have during that time. The following is a front view proportions comparison of the E-M5 III versus the TG-3.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the E-M5 III and TG-3 is 80 and 90 respectively.

Typically, it is very hard to picture the difference in sensor sizes only by researching specifications. The image here will give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the E-M5 III and TG-3.

Plainly, each of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The E-M5 III using its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF simpler and the Olympus E-M5 III will render more detail because of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs way more aggressively. The fresher E-M5 III should have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
