Olympus TG-2 iHS vs Sony H50

Here, we will be contrasting the Olympus TG-2 iHS vs Sony H50, one being a Waterproof and the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom by brands Olympus and Sony. There exists a crucial gap among the sensor resolutions of the TG-2 iHS (12MP) and H50 (9MP) but both cameras boast the identical sensor size (1/2.3").

The TG-2 iHS was released 4 years later than the H50 and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before getting right into a in depth comparison, here is a quick overview of how the TG-2 iHS matches up against the H50 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Olympus Tough TG-2 iHS and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H50. The complete galleries are available at Olympus TG-2 iHS Gallery and Sony H50 Gallery.

If you are intending to lug around your camera often, you'll have to take into account its weight and measurements.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability score of the TG-2 iHS and H50 is 91 and 69 respectively.

More often than not, it's hard to visualise the gap in sensor measurements purely by looking through specifications. The photograph underneath might give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the TG-2 iHS and H50.

To sum up, the two cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Olympus TG-2 iHS to render more detail as a result of its extra 3 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The younger TG-2 iHS is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
