Canon SX130 IS vs Olympus TG-320 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
In many cases, its hard to see the contrast in sensor dimensions purely by going through specifications. The pic underneath might give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX130 IS and TG-320.
Plainly, both cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Olympus TG-320 to produce more detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics more aggressively. The more aged SX130 IS will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
