Olympus SP-620 UZ vs Olympus TG-630 iHS Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, it is hard to visualize the difference in sensor sizes purely by checking out technical specs. The pic below should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the SP-620 UZ and TG-630 iHS.
As you have seen, the two cameras come with the identical sensor size but different resolution. You can expect to see the Olympus SP-620 UZ to show more detail due to its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more aged SP-620 UZ will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
