Fujifilm XP30 vs Olympus TG-5 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, it is very tough to visualize the contrast between sensor sizing merely by reviewing a spec sheet. The graphic here should provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm XP30 and TG-5.
As you can see, each of these cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit different MP. You should count on the Fujifilm XP30 to offer more detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The older Fujifilm XP30 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
