Olympus TG-1 iHS vs Sigma fp L

Lets examine more closely at the Olympus TG-1 iHS and Sigma fp L, former is a Waterproof while the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by brands Olympus and Sigma. There exists a considerable gap between the resolutions of the TG-1 iHS (12MP) and fp L (61MP) and the TG-1 iHS (1/2.3") and fp L (Full frame) feature different sensor sizing.

The TG-1 iHS was manufactured 10 years earlier than the fp L which is quite a large difference as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras offer different body type with the Olympus TG-1 iHS being a Compact camera and the Sigma fp L being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving in to a full comparison, below is a short view of how the TG-1 iHS scores vs the fp L when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Always remember, the weight of an ILC will differ based on the lens you have chosen at that moment. Underneath is the front view measurements comparison of the TG-1 iHS compared to the fp L.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability score of the TG-1 iHS and fp L is 91 and 83 respectively.

More often than not, it is hard to imagine the difference between sensor sizes purely by looking at specifications. The image here will offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the TG-1 iHS and fp L.

To sum up, both of the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The TG-1 iHS because of its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF more challenging and the Sigma fp L will give extra detail due to its extra 49MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The more aged TG-1 iHS is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
