Here we are comparing two cameras with different body types: Olympus TG-870, which was introduced in January 2016 is a Ultracompact camera with a 16.0MP sensor whereas Panasonic TS6, which was introduced in January 2015 is a Waterproof camera with a 16.0MP 1/2.33' sensor. There is 12 months difference between TG-870 and TS6 so we don't expect to see a huge technology difference between these two cameras but it would still give an advantage to younger TG-870, especially in sensor tech.
Fortunately, you can't go wrong with any of these cameras as we rank them amongst Top 10 cameras in their classes. Olympus TG-870 is ranked
#3 out of 152 Ultracompact cameras with an overall score of 46 whereas Panasonic TS6 is ranked
#8 out of 77 Waterproof cameras with an overall score of 50.
Here is a brief look at the main features of the Olympus TG-870 and Panasonic TS6 before getting into our more detailed comparison.
Let's read on in the following sections in order to better understand in detail how the Olympus TG-870 and Panasonic TS6 compare and hopefully end up with enough arguments to decide which one is better for you.
