Olympus TG-610 vs Sony RX1R II

Here is a extensive comparison of the Olympus TG-610 versus Sony RX1R II, one being a Waterproof and the latter is a Large Sensor Compact by rivals Olympus and Sony. There is a sizeable difference between the image resolutions of the TG-610 (14MP) and RX1R II (42MP) and the TG-610 (1/2.3") and RX1R II (Full frame) feature different sensor measurements.

The TG-610 was unveiled 5 years prior to the RX1R II and that is quite a large gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of these cameras come with different body type with the Olympus TG-610 being a Compact camera and the Sony RX1R II being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before getting through a in-depth comparison, below is a short summation of how the TG-610 matches up versus the RX1R II in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Looking at size and weight, the portability grade of the TG-610 and RX1R II is 93 and 78 respectively.

Generally, it can be difficult to imagine the gap between sensor sizing simply by reading through a spec sheet. The photograph here may offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the TG-610 and RX1R II.

As you can see, the two cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The TG-610 using its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF harder and the Sony RX1R II will give you more detail having an extra 28MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots much more aggressively. The older TG-610 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
