Casio TRYX vs Olympus VG-120 Sensor Comparison
Oftentimes, its difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor sizing merely by reading technical specs. The graphic below might provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the TRYX and VG-120.
As you can tell, the two cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Olympus VG-120 to offer you greater detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images much more aggressively.
