Olympus Tough TG-5 with Olympus TG-310 Overview


Let's compare TG-310 with Tough TG-5. Both cameras produced Olympus. These models are included in the Waterproof cameras. Olympus TG-310 was released in 2011, and Olympus TG-5 in 2017. Tough TG-5 is newer, which is a plus. TG-310 6 years older.
The sensor resolution of TG-310 is greater than that of Tough TG-5. However, the difference of 2 MP is not very significant. The more megapixels the camera has, the more detailed and clear the picture will be. The number of megapixels will also affect the maximum size of the photos, which then can be printed without loss of quality.
At the second camera (Tough TG-5), the minimum ISO value is lower, which gives more opportunities for shooting in daylight. A larger maximum ISO allows you to take good pictures in the dark. At Olympus TG-5, the maximum ISO is greater by 11200. Both cameras have Sensor-shift image stabilization. Olympus TG-5 has a larger 3-inch Fixed screen, the other camera has a 2-inch Fixed screen.
Burst mode, also called continuous shooting mode, sports mode or continuous high speed mode, is a shooting mode in still cameras. Olympus TG-310 has 20.0 fps continuous shooting. Olympus TG-310 has 20.0 fps continuous shooting.
