Olympus SP-610UZ vs Olympus TG-4 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, it is very tough to visualize the gap in sensor dimensions only by looking through a spec sheet. The image underneath should offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SP-610UZ and TG-4.
Clearly, both of these cameras come with the identical sensor size but different MP. You should anticipate the Olympus TG-4 to provide you with more detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more aged SP-610UZ will be behind in sensor innovation.
