Olympus TG-820 iHS vs Sigma fp

Lets look much closer at the Olympus TG-820 iHS and Sigma fp, one being a Waterproof and the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by manufacturers Olympus and Sigma. There exists a huge gap between the resolutions of the TG-820 iHS (12MP) and fp (25MP) and the TG-820 iHS (1/2.3") and fp (Full frame) boast totally different sensor size.

The TG-820 iHS was introduced 8 years prior to the fp and that is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras feature different body design with the Olympus TG-820 iHS being a Compact camera and the Sigma fp being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting into a full comparison, here is a simple highlight of how the TG-820 iHS matches up vs the fp when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Olympus TG-820 iHS and Sigma fp. The whole galleries are viewable at Olympus TG-820 iHS Gallery and Sigma fp Gallery.

For anybody who is planning to lug around your camera regularly, you should consider its weight and proportions. The Olympus TG-820 iHS enjoys physical dimensions of 101mm x 65mm x 26mm (4.0" x 2.6" x 1.0") and a weight of 206 grams (0.45 lbs) and the Sigma fp has measurements of 113mm x 70mm x 45mm (4.4" x 2.8" x 1.8") and a weight of 422 grams (0.93 lbs).

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you select at the time. Underneath is a front view physical size comparison of the TG-820 iHS versus the fp.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the TG-820 iHS and fp is 92 and 84 respectively.

More often than not, it is very hard to see the gap between sensor measurements merely by reading specifications. The visual below will help offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the TG-820 iHS and fp.

Plainly, both of those cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The TG-820 iHS with its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower DOF trickier and the Sigma fp will offer you more detail using its extra 13MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures way more aggressively. The older TG-820 iHS is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
