Casio EX-H15 vs Olympus TG-3 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Oftentimes, it is difficult to visualize the difference between sensor sizes just by checking specs. The picture here may give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-H15 and TG-3.
All in all, both the cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit different MP. You should count on the Olympus TG-3 to give extra detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots way more aggressively. The more aged EX-H15 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
