Canon A1400 vs Olympus TG-310 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, it is very hard to imagine the contrast in sensor dimensions merely by researching a spec sheet. The image here might provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the A1400 and TG-310.
As you can see, the 2 cameras feature the identical sensor size but different megapixels. You can anticipate the Canon A1400 to render extra detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop photos way more aggressively. The younger A1400 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
