Nikon S6300 vs Olympus TG-310 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, it is very hard to visualise the contrast in sensor measurements simply by seeing specifications. The graphic underneath might provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the S6300 and TG-310.
Plainly, each of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Nikon S6300 to provide extra detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more recent S6300 will have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
