Canon N100 vs Olympus TG-6 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, it can be hard to picture the contrast between sensor sizing simply by reading through specs. The visual here might give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the N100 and TG-6.
As you can plainly see, both the cameras have got the exact same megapixels albeit different sensor sizing. The N100 includes the bigger sensor which is going to make achieving shallower DOF simpler. The older N100 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
