Olympus SZ-11 vs Samsung TL100 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Sometimes, it's tough to envision the contrast between sensor measurements merely by reading a spec sheet. The photograph here should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the SZ-11 and TL100.
Clearly, both the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Olympus SZ-11 to offer you greater detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos a little more aggressively. The more recent SZ-11 will have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
