Often, its tough to visualize the contrast in sensor dimensions merely by seeing specifications. The image here may give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the SP-565UZ and TG-310.
To sum up, both of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different megapixels. You can anticipate the Olympus TG-310 to show greater detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop images much more aggressively. The more aged SP-565UZ will be behind in sensor technology.
