Olympus TG-6 vs Samsung NX200

Following is a thorough comparison of the Olympus TG-6 versus Samsung NX200, one is a Waterproof and the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by companies Olympus and Samsung. There exists a significant gap between the image resolutions of the TG-6 (12MP) and NX200 (20MP) and the TG-6 (1/2.3") and NX200 (APS-C) provide totally different sensor dimensions.

The TG-6 was announced 7 years after the NX200 which is quite a sizable gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras feature different body design with the Olympus TG-6 being a Compact camera and the Samsung NX200 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting right into a full comparison, here is a brief summation of how the TG-6 grades vs the NX200 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

This is a sample of the gallery pics for Olympus Tough TG-6 and Samsung NX200. The whole galleries are provided at Olympus TG-6 Gallery and Samsung NX200 Gallery.

More often than not, it is very difficult to envision the gap between sensor sizes only by reviewing a spec sheet. The pic underneath might give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the TG-6 and NX200.

As you can see, the two cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The TG-6 having a tinier sensor will make shooting shallow DOF trickier and the Samsung NX200 will offer you greater detail with its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The fresher TG-6 is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
