FujiFilm F300EXR vs Olympus TG-320 Sensor Comparison

Clearly, the 2 cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The F300EXR because of its larger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF easier and the Olympus TG-320 will offer extra detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop images a bit more aggressively. The older F300EXR is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
