Kodak Z915 vs Olympus TG-4 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, it's difficult to picture the gap between sensor sizing simply by looking at a spec sheet. The photograph here will provide you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the Z915 and TG-4.
Clearly, the two cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit different megapixels. You can expect the Olympus TG-4 to give you extra detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs more aggressively. The older Z915 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
