Canon SD1200 IS vs Olympus TG-610 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
In many cases, it can be tough to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes only by seeing specifications. The image here should offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the SD1200 IS and TG-610.
Plainly, both cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Olympus TG-610 to show more detail utilizing its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics far more aggressively. The more aged SD1200 IS will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
