Olympus SP-610UZ vs Olympus TG-810 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
In many cases, it is very hard to see the difference in sensor dimensions only by seeing a spec sheet. The pic below might give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the SP-610UZ and TG-810.
Clearly, each of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing and the exact same resolution therefore you should expect comparable quality of images but you should factor the production date  of the cameras into account. The more aged SP-610UZ will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
