Olympus 1 vs Olympus TG-310 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is very hard to see the gap between sensor sizes purely by checking a spec sheet. The image below will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 1 and TG-310.

As you can see, both cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The 1 because of its bigger sensor will make achieving bokeh less difficult and the Olympus TG-310 will give greater detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The younger 1 is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
