Olympus Tough-3000 vs Olympus TG-310 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, it is hard to see the difference in sensor sizing only by looking through a spec sheet. The graphic underneath should give you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Tough-3000 and TG-310.
Clearly, the two cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You can anticipate the Olympus TG-310 to render extra detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos much more aggressively. The older Tough-3000 will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
