Olympus FE-45 vs Olympus TG-810 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it can be tough to picture the difference between sensor sizing purely by reviewing specifications. The graphic here might give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the FE-45 and TG-810.

Plainly, both of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but different megapixels. You should anticipate the Olympus TG-810 to deliver greater detail due to its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos far more aggressively. The older FE-45 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
