Olympus E-M10 IV vs Sony TX200V Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, it can be tough to picture the gap between sensor dimensions purely by going over a spec sheet. The image below should provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the E-M10 IV and TX200V.
Clearly, the 2 cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The E-M10 IV having a bigger sensor is going to make getting bokeh less difficult and the Olympus E-M10 IV will deliver greater detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The newer E-M10 IV provides an edge in sensor tech.
