Olympus TG-830 iHS vs Samsung HZ10W

The following is a extended overview of the Olympus TG-830 iHS and Samsung HZ10W, one is a Waterproof and the latter is a Small Sensor Compact by competitors Olympus and Samsung. There is a sizeable difference among the sensor resolutions of the TG-830 iHS (16MP) and HZ10W (10MP) but both cameras provide the identical sensor dimensions (1/2.3").

The TG-830 iHS was revealed 3 years after the HZ10W which is a fairly large gap as far as camera tech is concerned. The two cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before delving into a detailed comparison, here is a simple view of how the TG-830 iHS grades versus the HZ10W in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Below is a preview of the gallery photos for Olympus TG-830 iHS and Samsung HZ10W. The full galleries are viewable at Olympus TG-830 iHS Gallery and Samsung HZ10W Gallery.

When you are looking to travel with your camera often, you should factor its weight and size.

In many cases, it is very difficult to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions only by seeing a spec sheet. The image here may give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the TG-830 iHS and HZ10W.

Clearly, both of the cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Olympus TG-830 iHS to show more detail because of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The fresher TG-830 iHS will have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
