Kodak C135 vs Olympus TG-860 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is very difficult to imagine the difference in sensor measurements only by checking out a spec sheet. The visual underneath should provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the C135 and TG-860.

As you can see, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different megapixels. You should expect the Olympus TG-860 to produce greater detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older C135 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
