Olympus TG-830 iHS vs Panasonic S1H

Here, we will be reviewing the Olympus TG-830 iHS versus Panasonic S1H, former is a Waterproof while the latter is a Pro Mirrorless by brands Olympus and Panasonic. There is a considerable difference between the sensor resolutions of the TG-830 iHS (16MP) and S1H (24MP) and the TG-830 iHS (1/2.3") and S1H (Full frame) offer different sensor size.

The TG-830 iHS was manufactured 7 years before the S1H which is quite a large difference as far as tech is concerned. Both of the cameras feature different body design with the Olympus TG-830 iHS being a Compact camera and the Panasonic S1H being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving straight to a step-by-step comparison, here is a quick summation of how the TG-830 iHS matches up vs the S1H for portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Take into consideration, the weight of an ILC will vary based on the lens you choose at that moment. Following is a front view measurements comparison of the TG-830 iHS vs the S1H.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability grade of the TG-830 iHS and S1H is 91 and 52 respectively.

Often, it can be tough to visualize the difference between sensor dimensions just by reading technical specs. The image underneath will help provide you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the TG-830 iHS and S1H.

As you can tell, both the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The TG-830 iHS because of its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Panasonic S1H will deliver greater detail due to its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs way more aggressively. The more aged TG-830 iHS is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
