Leica V-Lux 30 vs Olympus TG-320 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, it is very tough to visualise the contrast between sensor sizes just by going over specifications. The pic underneath may give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the V-Lux 30 and TG-320.
To sum up, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions and the exact same MP therefore you can expect similar quality of files however you should always factor the launch date  of the products into consideration. The more aged V-Lux 30 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
