The TG-4 was announced 3 years later than the NX200 and that is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. The two cameras feature different body design with the Olympus TG-4 being a Compact camera and the Samsung NX200 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go into a detailed comparison, here is a simple summation of how the TG-4 matches up vs the NX200 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Olympus Tough TG-4 and Samsung NX200. The whole galleries are available at Olympus TG-4 Gallery and Samsung NX200 Gallery.

Oftentimes, it can be difficult to visualize the difference between sensor sizing purely by looking at a spec sheet. The photograph here may give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the TG-4 and NX200.

Clearly, both of those cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The TG-4 using its tinier sensor is going to make getting bokeh more challenging and the Samsung NX200 will give extra detail with its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics way more aggressively. The newer TG-4 should have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
