Olympus E-M10 vs Olympus TG-320 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, it is very tough to visualise the gap between sensor sizes only by reviewing specs. The image underneath may give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the E-M10 and TG-320.
All in all, both the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The E-M10 featuring a bigger sensor will make getting shallow DOF less difficult and the Olympus E-M10 will deliver greater detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs much more aggressively. The more modern E-M10 is going to have an edge in sensor innovation.
