Fujifilm A150 vs Olympus TG-860

Here is a complete assessment of the Fujifilm A150 and Olympus TG-860, one being a Small Sensor Compact and the latter is a Waterproof by rivals FujiFilm and Olympus. There exists a huge gap between the sensor resolutions of the Fujifilm A150 (10MP) and TG-860 (16MP) but they possess the exact same sensor sizes (1/2.3").

Typically, its hard to picture the difference between sensor sizing simply by reviewing specifications. The photograph below may give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm A150 and TG-860.

Plainly, both of those cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different resolution. You should expect the Olympus TG-860 to offer more detail having its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots much more aggressively. The older Fujifilm A150 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
