Olympus SH-2 vs Olympus TG-810 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Often, it can be tough to visualise the difference in sensor sizing only by going through a spec sheet. The visual here will help give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the SH-2 and TG-810.
Clearly, both of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You can anticipate the Olympus SH-2 to show greater detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos much more aggressively. The more modern SH-2 will have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
