The 11 x 14 inch prints here have a bit of noise in flatter areas of our test target, but are not too bad and can certainly be used for less critical purposes. ISO 400 yields a good print at the common size of 8 x 10 inches, with enough fine detail to pass our good grade while offering worthwhile color representation. Most all contrast detail is now lost in our target's tricky red-leaf swatch, but otherwise this 11 x 14 inch print is quite good and pleasing in most respects. ISO 200 requires a reduction in print size to 11 x 14 inches in order to satisfy our requirements for passing the "good" seal. The 16 x 20 inch prints here can definitely be used for wall display purposes and less critical applications as well. ![]() For a rugged camera with a small 1/2.3"-type sensor, we like what we're seeing here at base ISO with the prints. There is a nice amount of fine detail and the colors are well represented throughout. ISO 100 prints are quite good at 13 x 19 inches. Fine detail is better preserved at the lowest setting with much less smoothing, but the amount of luma noise is so high that it's arguable it's a useful setting even at low ISOs, unless you're looking for a very grainy effect.Ī good 13 x 19 inch print at ISO 100, a good 8 x 10 at ISO 400, and a good 5 x 7 at ISO 800 and ISO 1600. Olympus TG-5 Default NR vs Lowest NR at Base ISOĪs you can see from the crops above, the lowest noise reduction setting allows a lot more luma noise to remain, however it still does a pretty good job at controlling chroma noise. The crops below compare the default "Standard" noise reduction to the lowest "Off" setting. There are four available settings on the TG-5: "Off", "Low", "Standard" and "High". The Olympus TG-5 is the first in the series to offer adjustable high ISO noise reduction, which Olympus calls "Noise Filter". Both cameras support RAW mode so you should be able to do better with them than in-camera JPEGs with some careful processing, but unlike the TG-5, the TG-4 does not support burst mode when shooting RAW files, so keep that in mind. Overall, there is an improvement in image quality over the TG-4 with better detail at lower ISOs as well as better contrast and color across the ISO range, however we had hoped high ISO performance would be better given the TG-5's larger pixels and newer, more powerful image processor. The TG-5 however still produces better color while the TG-4 has become very desaturated and dark, with an almost scorched look. ISO 6400 is mushy mess with fine detail obliterated by very heavy noise and strong blurring. And remember, you can always go to our world-renowned Comparometer to compare the Olympus TG-5 to any camera we've ever tested! Olympus TG-5 vs Olympus TG-4 at Base ISO NOTE: For those interested in working with the RAW files involved, click these links to visit each camera's respective sample image thumbnail page: Olympus TG-5 and Olympus TG-4 - links to the RAW files appear beneath those for the JPEG images, wherever we have them. And below that, we compare the TG-5's default noise reduction to its lowest setting at all ISO settings, to give you an idea of how much noise is present. So below we compare the TG-5's JPEG image quality to that of its predecessor's, the TG-4, at all shared ISO settings as the usual ISOs we compare don't perform well with tiny sensors. We've decided to do something a little different here than our usual image quality comparisons, since we don't test many cameras with tiny 1/2.3"-type sensors these days (not many are being produced). ![]()
