Casio EX-ZR800 vs Olympus TG-5 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, its difficult to envision the gap in sensor measurements merely by seeing a spec sheet. The photograph here may give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-ZR800 and TG-5.

Clearly, both of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Casio EX-ZR800 to produce greater detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The older EX-ZR800 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
