Olympus E-PL6 vs Olympus TG-320 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, it is very hard to imagine the contrast in sensor sizes merely by going through technical specs. The pic underneath should offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the E-PL6 and TG-320.
As you have seen, the two cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The E-PL6 with its larger sensor is going to make achieving bokeh easier and the Olympus E-PL6 will show greater detail having an extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos a little more aggressively. The fresher E-PL6 should have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
