Olympus E-400 vs Olympus TG-610 Sensor Comparison
Quite often, its tough to see the contrast between sensor sizes purely by reading through specifications. The picture underneath should offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the E-400 and TG-610.
Plainly, both cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The E-400 featuring a larger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field simpler and the Olympus TG-610 will give more detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images a bit more aggressively. The more aged E-400 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
