Nikon P7100 vs Olympus TG-2 iHS Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, it's hard to envision the difference in sensor sizes merely by looking through specifications. The image here might provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the P7100 and TG-2 iHS.
Plainly, both the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The P7100 having a bigger sensor will make getting shallower DOF simpler and the Olympus TG-2 iHS will provide you with extra detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs far more aggressively. The more aged P7100 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
