Casio EX-100 vs Olympus TG-5 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Normally, it's tough to visualise the difference in sensor measurements only by going through specs. The visual underneath may provide you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-100 and TG-5.
All in all, the two cameras enjoy the same exact megapixels albeit not the same sensor measurements. The EX-100 contains the bigger sensor which should make getting shallower depth of field less difficult. The older EX-100 will be behind in sensor tech.
