Panasonic TS4 vs Panasonic TS6

Here is a in depth overview of the Panasonic TS4 versus Panasonic TS6, both Waterproof digital cameras and they are both produced by Panasonic. There exists a big gap between the resolutions of the TS4 (12MP) and TS6 (16MP) but they use the exact same sensor dimensions (1/2.3").

The TS4 was manufactured 3 years before the TS6 and that is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before going straight into a thorough comparison, below is a simple view of how the TS4 grades versus the TS6 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS4 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS6. The entire galleries are available at Panasonic TS4 Gallery and Panasonic TS6 Gallery.

If you are aiming to carry your camera regularly, you will want to factor its weight and dimensions. The Panasonic TS4 comes with physical measurements of 103mm x 64mm x 27mm (4.1" x 2.5" x 1.1") with a weight of 197 grams (0.43 lbs) while the Panasonic TS6 has dimensions of 110mm x 67mm x 29mm (4.3" x 2.6" x 1.1") accompanied by a weight of 214 grams (0.47 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you have attached at the time. The following is the front view measurement comparison of the TS4 compared to the TS6.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the TS4 and TS6 is 92 and 91 respectively.

More often than not, it is very tough to envision the contrast between sensor sizing merely by looking at a spec sheet. The graphic below should offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the TS4 and TS6.

Clearly, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Panasonic TS6 to give you more detail due to its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older TS4 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
