Olympus VR-340 with Samsung TL500 Overview

Let's compare Samsung TL500 with Olympus VR-340. These models are included in the Small Sensor Compact cameras. Samsung TL500 was released in 2010, and Olympus VR-340 in 2012. VR-340 is newer, which is a plus. TL500 2 years older.
The sensor resolution of VR-340 is greater than that of TL500. The difference of 6 MP is quite a lot. 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 (VR-340), 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. Both cameras have Optical image stabilization. Both cameras feature a 3-inch articulated screen.
