The TG-630 iHS was brought out 3 years later than the A330 and that is a fairly big gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both the cameras have different body design with the Olympus TG-630 iHS being a Compact camera and the Sony A330 being a Compact SLR camera.

Before we go straight to a in-depth comparison, here is a brief highlight of how the TG-630 iHS scores vs the A330 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Olympus TG-630 iHS and Sony Alpha DSLR-A330. The entire galleries are available at Olympus TG-630 iHS Gallery and Sony A330 Gallery.

Often, it can be hard to visualize the contrast in sensor sizing just by looking through a spec sheet. The photograph here may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the TG-630 iHS and A330.

As you can see, both of these cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The TG-630 iHS because of its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field more difficult and the Olympus TG-630 iHS will result in extra detail having its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more modern TG-630 iHS should have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
