Olympus TG-5 vs Samsung EX2F

Its time to take a closer look at the Olympus TG-5 versus Samsung EX2F, former being a Waterproof while the latter is a Small Sensor Compact by brands Olympus and Samsung. The image resolution of the TG-5 (12MP) and the EX2F (12MP) is relatively comparable but the TG-5 (1/2.3") and EX2F (1/1.7") come with different sensor sizing.

The TG-5 was launched 4 years later than the EX2F and that is a fairly serious difference as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras offer the identical body type (Compact).

Before going through a complete comparison, below is a short view of how the TG-5 grades vs the EX2F with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Olympus Tough TG-5 & Samsung EX2F. The complete galleries are provided at Olympus TG-5 Gallery & Samsung EX2F Gallery.

When you are going to lug around your camera regularly, you will have to think about its weight and measurements.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability score of the TG-5 and EX2F is 90 and 90 respectively.

Sometimes, it can be difficult to visualize the gap in sensor measurements only by going through a spec sheet. The visual underneath should offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the TG-5 and EX2F.

Clearly, each of the cameras enjoy the same exact megapixel count albeit different sensor measurements. The TG-5 includes the smaller sensor which is going to make getting shallower depth of field trickier. The fresher TG-5 provides an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
