Olympus SP-565UZ vs Olympus TG-320 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is difficult to envision the contrast between sensor dimensions just by checking a spec sheet. The pic underneath might provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the SP-565UZ and TG-320.

Clearly, both the cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Olympus TG-320 to give extra detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged SP-565UZ is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
