Olympus TG-850 iHS vs Olympus TG-4

Let's look a bit more in depth at the Olympus TG-850 iHS vs Olympus TG-4, both Waterproof cameras and they are both produced by Olympus. The sensor resolution of the TG-850 iHS (16MP) and the TG-4 (16MP) is relatively comparable and they feature the same exact sensor dimensions (1/2.3").

The TG-850 iHS was released 14 months earlier than the TG-4 which makes the cameras a generation away from each other. Each of the cameras offer the identical body type (Compact).

Before going through a thorough comparison, below is a short synopsis of how the TG-850 iHS matches up versus the TG-4 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Olympus Stylus Tough TG-850 iHS and Olympus Tough TG-4. The complete galleries are provided at Olympus TG-850 iHS Gallery and Olympus TG-4 Gallery.

If you're planning to carry around your camera often, you will have to consider its weight and measurements. The Olympus TG-850 iHS has got outer dimensions of 110mm x 64mm x 28mm (4.3" x 2.5" x 1.1") along with a weight of 218 grams (0.48 lbs) whilst the Olympus TG-4 has proportions of 112mm x 66mm x 31mm (4.4" x 2.6" x 1.2") accompanied by a weight of 247 grams (0.54 lbs).

Taking into account size and weight, the portability rating of the TG-850 iHS and TG-4 is 91 and 90 respectively.

In many cases, it is very difficult to see the gap in sensor sizes merely by going through technical specs. The picture here may give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the TG-850 iHS and TG-4.

As you have seen, each of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing and the exact same megapixels so you should expect comparable quality of photos though you should always take the production date of the cameras into account. The more aged TG-850 iHS will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
