The 6000 was released 6 years prior to the TG-4 and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both the cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before going right into a in depth comparison, here is a brief view of how the 6000 scores versus the TG-4 for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a sample of the gallery pics for Olympus Stylus Tough 6000 and Olympus Tough TG-4. The complete galleries are provided at Olympus 6000 Gallery and Olympus TG-4 Gallery.

When you are going to lug around your camera often, you will want to factor its weight and measurements.

Often, it is hard to imagine the gap in sensor measurements just by checking out technical specs. The photograph underneath will give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the 6000 and TG-4.

As you can tell, both cameras come with the identical sensor size but different MP. You should expect to see the Olympus TG-4 to provide extra detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The older 6000 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
