Olympus TG-830 iHS vs Panasonic G10

Let's look a bit more closely at the Olympus TG-830 iHS versus Panasonic G10, former being a Waterproof while the latter is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by manufacturers Olympus and Panasonic. There exists a sizable gap between the sensor resolutions of the TG-830 iHS (16MP) and G10 (12MP) and the TG-830 iHS (1/2.3") and G10 (Four Thirds) enjoy different sensor sizes.

The TG-830 iHS was manufactured 2 years later than the G10 and that is quite a significant difference as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras come with different body type with the Olympus TG-830 iHS being a Compact camera and the Panasonic G10 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving in to a thorough comparison, below is a short view of how the TG-830 iHS scores versus the G10 for portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Olympus TG-830 iHS & Panasonic Lumix DMC-G10. The entire galleries are available at Olympus TG-830 iHS Gallery & Panasonic G10 Gallery.

For anybody who is aiming to carry your camera, you will want to factor in its weight and size. The Olympus TG-830 iHS offers outside measurements of 109mm x 67mm x 28mm (4.3" x 2.6" x 1.1") with a weight of 214 grams (0.47 lbs) and the Panasonic G10 has specifications of 124mm x 90mm x 74mm (4.9" x 3.5" x 2.9") having a weight of 388 grams (0.86 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an ILC will vary depending on the lens you are employing at that moment. The following is the front view dimension comparison of the TG-830 iHS vs the G10.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the TG-830 iHS and G10 is 91 and 72 respectively.

Sometimes, its hard to imagine the difference between sensor sizing merely by looking at a spec sheet. The graphic below may give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the TG-830 iHS and G10.

Clearly, each of the cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The TG-830 iHS due to its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF more difficult and the Olympus TG-830 iHS will give you extra detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures much more aggressively. The more recent TG-830 iHS should have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
