Olympus FE-5010 vs Olympus TG-320 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, it's difficult to imagine the gap in sensor measurements only by going through specifications. The graphic here will provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the FE-5010 and TG-320.
Plainly, each of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit different resolution. You can expect the Olympus TG-320 to provide extra detail using its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots a little more aggressively. The older FE-5010 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
