Kodak M530 vs Olympus TG-310 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Typically, it's tough to visualise the gap between sensor measurements only by reviewing specs. The photograph here should give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the M530 and TG-310.
All in all, the two cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same MP. You can count on the Olympus TG-310 to deliver more detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs more aggressively. The older M530 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
