Here we are comparing two Olympus cameras cameras with different body types: Olympus TG-4, which was introduced in April 2015 is a Waterproof camera with a 16.0MP sensor whereas Olympus TG-870, which was introduced in January 2016 is a Ultracompact camera with a 16.0MP sensor. There is only 9 months difference between TG-4 and TG-870 so we are expecting this to be a fair comparison regarding age and technology level.
Fortunately, you can't go wrong with any of these cameras as we rank them amongst Top 10 cameras in their classes. Olympus TG-4 is ranked
#4 out of 83 Waterproof cameras with an overall score of 45 whereas Olympus TG-870 is ranked
#4 out of 155 Ultracompact cameras with an overall score of 38.
Here is a brief look at the main features of the Olympus TG-4 and Olympus TG-870 before getting into our more detailed comparison.
