        Competitor classes

        compared toCompact competitors

        Generally, some of the advantages of the Olympus VG-140 compared to other compact competitors include: it has a slightly wider wide angle lens (26 mm vs 28 mm), is slightly smaller (super compact (96×57×19 mm) vs compact (104×60×28 mm)), is newer (january 2012 vs january 2008), is thinner (0.8" vs 1.1") and is slightly lighter (125 g vs 304 g).

        However, on average it has worse image stabilization (digital vs lens), slightly lower maximum light sensitivity (1,600 ISO vs 12,800 ISO), doesn't have a touch screen and has a CCD-family sensor (CCD vs CMOS).
