Nikon Z5 vs Olympus TG-310 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, it can be difficult to visualize the gap in sensor dimensions just by viewing technical specs. The pic underneath may offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the Z5 and TG-310.
As you can tell, both of these cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The Z5 featuring a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field simpler and the Nikon Z5 will result in greater detail having its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop shots more aggressively. The more recent Z5 should have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
