Nikon P300 vs Olympus TG-320 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Generally, it can be tough to see the contrast in sensor sizes just by viewing technical specs. The image underneath should offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the P300 and TG-320.
As you have seen, each of the cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Olympus TG-320 to result in extra detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged P300 will be behind in sensor tech.
