Leica C vs Olympus TG-320 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is tough to picture the contrast between sensor dimensions simply by reviewing technical specs. The image below will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the C and TG-320.

As you can tell, each of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The C featuring a larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Olympus TG-320 will offer greater detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The newer C should have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
