Casio EX-ZR300 vs Olympus TG-6 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
In many cases, it can be tough to see the gap in sensor sizing purely by looking through specifications. The photograph here should give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-ZR300 and TG-6.
Plainly, both cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Casio EX-ZR300 to result in greater detail having an extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The older EX-ZR300 will be behind in sensor technology.
