Olympus TG-2 iHS vs Sigma DP2s

Let's examine more in depth at the Olympus TG-2 iHS versus Sigma DP2s, one being a Waterproof and the other is a Large Sensor Compact by manufacturers Olympus and Sigma. There is a big difference among the resolutions of the TG-2 iHS (12MP) and DP2s (5MP) and the TG-2 iHS (1/2.3") and DP2s (APS-C) possess totally different sensor dimensions.

The TG-2 iHS was introduced 3 years later than the DP2s and that is a fairly big gap as far as camera tech is concerned. The two cameras come with different body type with the Olympus TG-2 iHS being a Compact camera and the Sigma DP2s being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before getting through a more detailed comparison, below is a short overview of how the TG-2 iHS scores against the DP2s for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Olympus Tough TG-2 iHS and Sigma DP2s. The whole galleries are available at Olympus TG-2 iHS Gallery and Sigma DP2s Gallery.

For anyone who is looking to lug around your camera often, you'll need to take into account its weight and size. The Olympus TG-2 iHS offers exterior measurements of 111mm x 67mm x 29mm (4.4" x 2.6" x 1.1") accompanied by a weight of 230 grams (0.51 lbs) and the Sigma DP2s has specifications of 113mm x 60mm x 56mm (4.4" x 2.4" x 2.2") with a weight of 280 grams (0.62 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you have at that moment. Here is the front view measurements comparison of the TG-2 iHS against the DP2s.

Using size and weight, the portability score of the TG-2 iHS and DP2s is 91 and 86 respectively.

Usually, it is very hard to envision the difference in sensor measurements just by researching a spec sheet. The photograph underneath may give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the TG-2 iHS and DP2s.

Clearly, the 2 cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The TG-2 iHS having a smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Olympus TG-2 iHS will render greater detail using its extra 7MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images much more aggressively. The more recent TG-2 iHS will have an edge in sensor tech.
