Kodak M580 vs Olympus TG-4 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is difficult to visualize the gap between sensor sizes simply by reading through a spec sheet. The image underneath should provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the M580 and TG-4.

As you can see, both of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but different resolution. You should expect to see the Olympus TG-4 to resolve greater detail using its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos far more aggressively. The more aged M580 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
