Olympus 1s vs Olympus TG-310

Here is a complete assessment of the Olympus 1s vs Olympus TG-310, former being a Small Sensor Superzoom while the latter is a Waterproof and both of them are created by Olympus. The resolution of the 1s (12MP) and the TG-310 (14MP) is pretty close but the 1s (1/1.7") and TG-310 (1/2.3") enjoy different sensor dimensions.

The 1s was revealed 4 years later than the TG-310 and that is a fairly serious difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Both cameras offer different body type with the Olympus 1s being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Olympus TG-310 being a Compact camera.

Before delving straight into a in-depth comparison, below is a brief summary of how the 1s grades against the TG-310 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Olympus Stylus 1s & Olympus TG-310. The full galleries are available at Olympus 1s Gallery & Olympus TG-310 Gallery.

When you are planning to carry your camera often, you're going to have to consider its weight and measurements.

Usually, it is hard to picture the difference in sensor sizing merely by researching specifications. The visual underneath should provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the 1s and TG-310.

Plainly, the 2 cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The 1s having a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Olympus TG-310 will render greater detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs far more aggressively. The newer 1s should have a benefit in sensor tech.
