Canon A2500 vs Olympus TG-320 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Generally, it is tough to envision the difference in sensor dimensions just by seeing specs. The picture here should offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the A2500 and TG-320.
All in all, the two cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Canon A2500 to provide more detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The newer A2500 is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
