Fujifilm X30 vs Olympus TG-4 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Sometimes, it's tough to envision the difference in sensor sizes purely by viewing specifications. The pic here should offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm X30 and TG-4.
To sum up, the 2 cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm X30 using its larger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF easier and the Olympus TG-4 will result in greater detail because of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics a little more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm X30 will be behind in sensor technology.
