Photography Glossary

The TG-830 iHS was unveiled 13 months prior to the H400 making them a generation away from one another. Each of these cameras have different body design with the Olympus TG-830 iHS being a Compact camera and the Sony H400 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before going into a thorough comparison, here is a simple overview of how the TG-830 iHS matches up versus the H400 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Olympus TG-830 iHS and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H400. The full galleries are provided at Olympus TG-830 iHS Gallery and Sony H400 Gallery.

If you're intending to travel with your camera often, you will want to consider its weight and proportions.

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you have chosen at that time. Here is a front view scale comparison of the TG-830 iHS versus the H400.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the TG-830 iHS and H400 is 91 and 62 respectively.

More often than not, it can be hard to visualise the contrast in sensor dimensions only by looking through a spec sheet. The image below will offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the TG-830 iHS and H400.

Clearly, both of those cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Sony H400 to result in more detail having an extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images more aggressively. The more aged TG-830 iHS will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
