Nikon S1000pj vs Olympus TG-310 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Generally, it's tough to envision the contrast between sensor sizes only by looking at specifications. The picture below might offer you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the S1000pj and TG-310.
Plainly, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Olympus TG-310 to give more detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more aged S1000pj is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
