Olympus TG-5 vs Panasonic FH10

Its time to take a closer look at the Olympus TG-5 versus Panasonic FH10, one being a Waterproof and the other is a Small Sensor Compact by brands Olympus and Panasonic. There exists a big gap between the image resolutions of the TG-5 (12MP) and FH10 (16MP) but both cameras offer the same sensor sizes (1/2.3").

The TG-5 was launched 4 years later than the FH10 and that is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras have the same body design (Compact).

Before going straight to a in depth comparison, here is a brief summation of how the TG-5 matches up vs the FH10 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Olympus Tough TG-5 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH10. The complete galleries are viewable at Olympus TG-5 Gallery and Panasonic FH10 Gallery.

If you are aiming to carry your camera frequently, you will want to factor its weight and dimensions. The Olympus TG-5 provides outside measurements of 113mm x 66mm x 32mm (4.4" x 2.6" x 1.3") along with a weight of 250 grams (0.55 lbs) and the Panasonic FH10 has dimensions of 94mm x 54mm x 18mm (3.7" x 2.1" x 0.7") with a weight of 103 grams (0.23 lbs).

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you are using at that moment. Underneath is a front view dimensions comparison of the TG-5 versus the FH10.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the TG-5 and FH10 is 90 and 97 respectively.

Sometimes, its difficult to see the difference between sensor sizing merely by looking at technical specs. The visual below might give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the TG-5 and FH10.

As you have seen, both of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Panasonic FH10 to give you more detail utilizing its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will let you crop photos a bit more aggressively. The younger TG-5 is going to have an edge in sensor tech.
