Nikon AW130 vs Olympus TG-320 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, it is very difficult to see the gap in sensor sizing purely by researching a spec sheet. The photograph here might offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the AW130 and TG-320.
As you can see, each of the cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Nikon AW130 to provide you with more detail having an extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The younger AW130 will have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
