Nikon Z6 II vs Olympus TG-610 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, it is very tough to visualise the difference between sensor dimensions simply by reading through a spec sheet. The image here will offer you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the Z6 II and TG-610.
Clearly, both of the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Z6 II with its larger sensor will make getting shallow DOF easier and the Nikon Z6 II will give greater detail using its extra 11 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The newer Z6 II will have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
