Olympus TG-610 vs Sony A7S

Following is a in depth comparison of the Olympus TG-610 vs Sony A7S, one is a Waterproof and the latter is a Pro Mirrorless by brands Olympus and Sony. The image resolution of the TG-610 (14MP) and the A7S (12MP) is relatively comparable but the TG-610 (1/2.3") and A7S (Full frame) have totally different sensor sizes.

The TG-610 was introduced 4 years prior to the A7S which is a fairly significant gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both cameras have different body design with the Olympus TG-610 being a Compact camera and the Sony A7S being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving into a thorough comparison, here is a concise highlight of how the TG-610 matches up vs the A7S in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

This is a preview of the gallery photos for Olympus TG-610 and Sony Alpha A7S. The whole galleries are provided at Olympus TG-610 Gallery and Sony A7S Gallery.

For those who are planning to carry around your camera, you will want to factor in its weight and measurements. The Olympus TG-610 has got physical measurements of 96mm x 65mm x 26mm (3.8" x 2.6" x 1.0") with a weight of 190 grams (0.42 lbs) while the Sony A7S has proportions of 127mm x 94mm x 48mm (5.0" x 3.7" x 1.9") accompanied by a weight of 489 grams (1.08 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you use during that time. Below is a front view sizing comparison of the TG-610 and the A7S.

Using size and weight, the portability score of the TG-610 and A7S is 93 and 77 respectively.

Usually, it can be difficult to see the difference in sensor sizes simply by seeing technical specs. The picture underneath may offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the TG-610 and A7S.

As you have seen, both cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The TG-610 using its smaller sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field harder and the Olympus TG-610 will produce extra detail using its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more aged TG-610 will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
