Casio EX-FC100 vs Olympus TG-4 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Normally, it can be difficult to see the contrast in sensor sizes simply by seeing a spec sheet. The picture below may give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-FC100 and TG-4.
Clearly, both of those cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Olympus TG-4 to provide more detail utilizing its extra 7MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics more aggressively. The more aged EX-FC100 will be behind in sensor innovation.
