Lets look a bit more in depth at the Olympus TG-4 versus Panasonic FZ200, one being a Waterproof and the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom by companies Olympus and Panasonic. There is a crucial difference among the resolutions of the TG-4 (16MP) and FZ200 (12MP) but both cameras boast the identical sensor sizes (1/2.3").

The TG-4 was introduced 2 years later than the FZ200 and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both the cameras feature different body design with the Olympus TG-4 being a Compact camera and the Panasonic FZ200 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before getting into a in-depth comparison, here is a quick synopsis of how the TG-4 matches up vs the FZ200 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Often, it can be tough to visualise the gap in sensor measurements purely by researching a spec sheet. The visual here might offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the TG-4 and FZ200.

Clearly, each of the cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Olympus TG-4 to provide you with greater detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The younger TG-4 will have a benefit in sensor tech.
