Olympus TG-860 vs Olympus VG-110

Here, we will be evaluating the Olympus TG-860 versus Olympus VG-110, former is a Waterproof while the latter is a Ultracompact and both of them are designed by Olympus. There exists a noticeable gap between the sensor resolutions of the TG-860 (16MP) and VG-110 (12MP) but both cameras provide the identical sensor sizing (1/2.3").

The TG-860 was released 4 years after the VG-110 which is quite a sizable difference as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras feature the same body design (Ultracompact).

Before we go right into a more detailed comparison, here is a short overview of how the TG-860 matches up against the VG-110 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Below is a preview of the gallery photos for Olympus Stylus Tough TG-860 & Olympus VG-110. The complete galleries are available at Olympus TG-860 Gallery & Olympus VG-110 Gallery.

If you are aiming to carry around your camera frequently, you'll need to think about its weight and volume. The Olympus TG-860 features external measurements of 110mm x 64mm x 28mm (4.3" x 2.5" x 1.1") with a weight of 224 grams (0.49 lbs) and the Olympus VG-110 has sizing of 92mm x 54mm x 20mm (3.6" x 2.1" x 0.8") with a weight of 105 grams (0.23 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an ILC will vary dependant on the lens you are using during that time. Following is a front view measurement comparison of the TG-860 against the VG-110.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the TG-860 and VG-110 is 91 and 97 respectively.

Typically, it is very difficult to visualise the gap between sensor sizes simply by looking at specs. The pic underneath will offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the TG-860 and VG-110.

All in all, both of the cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Olympus TG-860 to resolve greater detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The fresher TG-860 is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
