Olympus VR-320 vs Sigma Quattro H

On this page, we will be matching up the Olympus VR-320 vs Sigma Quattro H, former is a Small Sensor Superzoom while the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by competitors Olympus and Sigma. There is a substantial difference between the resolutions of the VR-320 (14MP) and Quattro H (45MP) and the VR-320 (1/2.3") and Quattro H (APS-H) offer totally different sensor dimensions.

The VR-320 was introduced 5 years prior to the Quattro H which is quite a big difference as far as tech is concerned. Both cameras have different body design with the Olympus VR-320 being a Compact camera and the Sigma Quattro H being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving straight to a complete comparison, here is a short view of how the VR-320 scores against the Quattro H when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Below is a preview of the gallery photos for Olympus VR-320 & Sigma sd Quattro H. The whole galleries are viewable at Olympus VR-320 Gallery & Sigma Quattro H Gallery.

If you are looking to travel with your camera regularly, you will need to factor its weight and volume. The Olympus VR-320 has outer measurements of 101mm x 58mm x 29mm (4.0" x 2.3" x 1.1") along with a weight of 158 grams (0.35 lbs) and the Sigma Quattro H has sizing of 147mm x 95mm x 91mm (5.8" x 3.7" x 3.6") with a weight of n/a grams (0.00 lbs).

Using size and weight, the portability grade of the VR-320 and Quattro H is 94 and 78 respectively.

Oftentimes, it is very difficult to see the difference between sensor dimensions just by looking at technical specs. The image below will give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the VR-320 and Quattro H.

As you have seen, both of these cameras have different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The VR-320 using its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Sigma Quattro H will resolve greater detail using its extra 31 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more aged VR-320 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
