Nikon Z5 vs Olympus TG-630 iHS Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, it's tough to picture the gap in sensor measurements merely by viewing a spec sheet. The visual here will offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Z5 and TG-630 iHS.
Clearly, the 2 cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Z5 with its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Nikon Z5 will provide you with extra detail having an extra 12 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures more aggressively. The fresher Z5 provides an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
