Olympus 1s vs Olympus TG-310 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is hard to picture the difference in sensor sizing merely by researching specifications. The visual underneath should provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the 1s and TG-310.

Plainly, the 2 cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The 1s having a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Olympus TG-310 will render greater detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs far more aggressively. The newer 1s should have a benefit in sensor tech.
