Canon SX200 IS vs Olympus TG-320 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, it is hard to visualise the difference in sensor sizes only by going through a spec sheet. The picture underneath will help provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the SX200 IS and TG-320.
Clearly, both of those cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same MP. You can expect the Olympus TG-320 to show greater detail having an extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more aged SX200 IS will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
