Olympus TG-5 vs Panasonic G10

Here, we will be comparing the Olympus TG-5 versus Panasonic G10, former is a Waterproof while the latter is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by rivals Olympus and Panasonic. The image resolution of the TG-5 (12MP) and the G10 (12MP) is relatively comparable but the TG-5 (1/2.3") and G10 (Four Thirds) provide different sensor sizing.

The TG-5 was launched 6 years after the G10 which is a fairly sizable difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras feature different body design with the Olympus TG-5 being a Compact camera and the Panasonic G10 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go straight to a full comparison, here is a simple highlight of how the TG-5 matches up against the G10 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Olympus Tough TG-5 & Panasonic Lumix DMC-G10. The complete galleries are provided at Olympus TG-5 Gallery & Panasonic G10 Gallery.

If you are planning to carry around your camera frequently, you are going to need to factor in its weight and proportions.

Normally, it's tough to picture the gap in sensor sizes only by checking out specifications. The pic underneath will help offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the TG-5 and G10.

Plainly, the two cameras come with the identical megapixels albeit different sensor sizes. The TG-5 has the smaller sensor which should make getting shallower DOF tougher. The younger TG-5 provides an edge with regard to sensor technology.
