Olympus 6010 vs Olympus VH-410

Below, we will be reviewing the Olympus 6010 and Olympus VH-410, former being a Waterproof while the latter is a Small Sensor Compact and both are created by Olympus. There is a large difference between the image resolutions of the 6010 (12MP) and VH-410 (16MP) but they enjoy the exact same sensor sizes (1/2.3").

The 6010 was brought out 4 years prior to the VH-410 and that is quite a serious difference as far as tech is concerned. Each of the cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before going straight into a in depth comparison, below is a short overview of how the 6010 matches up vs the VH-410 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a preview of the gallery images for Olympus Stylus Tough 6010 & Olympus VH-410. The entire galleries are provided at Olympus 6010 Gallery & Olympus VH-410 Gallery.

If you're going to lug around your camera frequently, you're going to have to factor its weight and measurements.

Looking at size and weight, the portability grade of the 6010 and VH-410 is 94 and 95 respectively.

In many cases, it is very tough to visualize the contrast between sensor measurements merely by reading through specs. The photograph below should offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 6010 and VH-410.

All in all, the two cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different MP. You can expect the Olympus VH-410 to give more detail having its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots much more aggressively. The older 6010 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
