The TG-1 iHS was announced 22 months later than the G10 which makes the cameras a generation apart from each other. Both the cameras offer different body type with the Olympus TG-1 iHS being a Compact camera and the Panasonic G10 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving straight into a thorough comparison, below is a short highlight of how the TG-1 iHS matches up versus the G10 for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Olympus Tough TG-1 iHS and Panasonic Lumix DMC-G10. The whole galleries are provided at Olympus TG-1 iHS Gallery and Panasonic G10 Gallery.

For anybody who is going to lug around your camera frequently, you're going to have to factor in its weight and volume.
