Olympus TG-3 vs Olympus TG-5

The following is a complete comparison of the Olympus TG-3 versus Olympus TG-5, both Waterproof digital cameras and they are both built by Olympus. There exists a large gap between the image resolutions of the TG-3 (16MP) and TG-5 (12MP) but both cameras offer the identical sensor dimensions (1/2.3").

The TG-3 was manufactured 4 years prior to the TG-5 which is quite a serious difference as far as technology is concerned. Both cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before delving right into a full comparison, here is a concise summary of how the TG-3 scores vs the TG-5 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Olympus Tough TG-3 & Olympus Tough TG-5. The entire galleries are available at Olympus TG-3 Gallery & Olympus TG-5 Gallery.

If you are looking to travel with your camera frequently, you'll need to think about its weight and dimensions.

Remember, the weight of an ILC will vary based on the lens you are utilising during that time. Following is a front view over all size comparison of the TG-3 vs the TG-5.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the TG-3 and TG-5 is 90 and 90 respectively.

More often than not, it is tough to imagine the difference between sensor dimensions simply by reading through a spec sheet. The picture here should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the TG-3 and TG-5.

Clearly, both of those cameras feature the identical sensor size but different resolution. You can expect to see the Olympus TG-3 to give you greater detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics way more aggressively. The more aged TG-3 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
