Canon N vs Olympus TG-310 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Usually, it's difficult to visualise the gap in sensor sizes merely by viewing specifications. The picture here should offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the N and TG-310.
To sum up, both of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Olympus TG-310 to provide you with more detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will help you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The newer N is going to have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
