Canon S110 vs Olympus TG-4 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it's difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor dimensions simply by going through technical specs. The image underneath should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the S110 and TG-4.

As you can tell, both the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The S110 featuring a larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field simpler and the Olympus TG-4 will show extra detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more aged S110 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
