Canon SD1400 IS vs Olympus TG-870 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, it is very tough to envision the gap between sensor measurements only by reading a spec sheet. The visual here will help offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the SD1400 IS and TG-870.
Clearly, both of these cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Olympus TG-870 to offer extra detail having its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The older SD1400 IS is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
