Olympus E-M10 IV vs Olympus TG-610 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, it's difficult to imagine the contrast between sensor sizing just by reading technical specs. The photograph underneath may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the E-M10 IV and TG-610.
As you can tell, both of these cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The E-M10 IV due to its larger sensor is going to make getting bokeh easier and the Olympus E-M10 IV will deliver extra detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop pics a bit more aggressively. The younger E-M10 IV should have a benefit in sensor technology.
