Olympus TG-320 vs Sony A7c

Let's look a bit more in depth at the Olympus TG-320 versus Sony A7c, one being a Waterproof and the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by manufacturers Olympus and Sony. There is a huge difference among the image resolutions of the TG-320 (14MP) and A7c (24MP) and the TG-320 (1/2.3") and A7c (Full frame) posses different sensor sizing.

Photography Glossary

The TG-320 was unveiled 9 years earlier than the A7c and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of these cameras feature different body design with the Olympus TG-320 being a Compact camera and the Sony A7c being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving right into a full comparison, here is a simple synopsis of how the TG-320 matches up vs the A7c in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a preview of the gallery images for Olympus TG-320 and Sony Alpha A7c. The full galleries are available at Olympus TG-320 Gallery and Sony A7c Gallery.

If you're aiming to lug around your camera frequently, you need to take into account its weight and measurements.

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you are using during that time. The following is a front view dimensions comparison of the TG-320 compared to the A7c.

Considering size and weight, the portability grade of the TG-320 and A7c is 94 and 78 respectively.

Generally, it is difficult to visualize the difference in sensor measurements merely by seeing specifications. The graphic here will provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the TG-320 and A7c.

Plainly, the 2 cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The TG-320 having a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF more challenging and the Sony A7c will produce extra detail having an extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The older TG-320 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
