Olympus 1s vs Olympus TG-810

Below, we are contrasting the Olympus 1s vs Olympus TG-810, one is a Small Sensor Superzoom and the other is a Waterproof and both of them are built by Olympus. The resolution of the 1s (12MP) and the TG-810 (14MP) is very similar but the 1s (1/1.7") and TG-810 (1/2.3") use totally different sensor measurements.

The 1s was unveiled 3 years after the TG-810 which is quite a large gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of the cameras come with different body type with the Olympus 1s being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Olympus TG-810 being a Compact camera.

Before going in to a step-by-step comparison, below is a simple view of how the 1s grades vs the TG-810 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Below is a sample of the gallery pics for Olympus Stylus 1s and Olympus TG-810. The full galleries are available at Olympus 1s Gallery and Olympus TG-810 Gallery.

In case you're planning to carry around your camera often, you're going to have to consider its weight and size. The Olympus 1s provides outside measurements of 116mm x 87mm x 57mm (4.6" x 3.4" x 2.2") and a weight of 402 grams (0.89 lbs) whilst the Olympus TG-810 has specifications of 100mm x 65mm x 26mm (3.9" x 2.6" x 1.0") with a weight of 215 grams (0.47 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you are utilising during that time. Here is the front view overall size comparison of the 1s compared to the TG-810.

Considering size and weight, the portability score of the 1s and TG-810 is 79 and 92 respectively.

Oftentimes, it is very hard to see the gap between sensor sizes simply by reading specifications. The image here may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the 1s and TG-810.

Plainly, both cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The 1s using its larger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Olympus TG-810 will offer you more detail having an extra 2MP. Greater resolution will let you crop pics much more aggressively. The newer 1s is going to have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
