Nikon S32 vs Olympus TG-320 Sensor Comparison
Usually, it is difficult to see the difference between sensor sizing just by checking a spec sheet. The visual here will give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the S32 and TG-320.
Clearly, each of the cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The S32 because of its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow DOF more difficult and the Olympus TG-320 will give you more detail due to its extra 1 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images a little more aggressively. The more recent S32 is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
