Olympus SZ-15 vs Olympus TG-810 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, it can be tough to envision the difference in sensor dimensions simply by seeing a spec sheet. The pic underneath may provide you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the SZ-15 and TG-810.
As you can see, each of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Olympus SZ-15 to provide more detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop pics far more aggressively. The newer SZ-15 is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
