Olympus TG-810 vs Sigma DP1s

The following is a complete review of the Olympus TG-810 vs Sigma DP1s, one is a Waterproof and the latter is a Large Sensor Compact by rivals Olympus and Sigma. There exists a crucial gap between the image resolutions of the TG-810 (14MP) and DP1s (5MP) and the TG-810 (1/2.3") and DP1s (APS-C) enjoy different sensor size.

The TG-810 was manufactured 23 months after the DP1s which makes the cameras a generation away from one another. Both of these cameras offer different body type with the Olympus TG-810 being a Compact camera and the Sigma DP1s being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before getting in to a more detailed comparison, below is a brief introduction of how the TG-810 grades against the DP1s in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you have chosen during that time. Underneath is the front view physical size comparison of the TG-810 and the DP1s.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability score of the TG-810 and DP1s is 92 and 90 respectively.

Quite often, it's tough to imagine the contrast between sensor dimensions only by checking specs. The pic below will help give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the TG-810 and DP1s.

All in all, both of those cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The TG-810 due to its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF trickier and the Olympus TG-810 will resolve extra detail due to its extra 9MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots far more aggressively. The newer TG-810 should have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
