Olympus Tough-3000 vs Olympus VH-410 Sensor Comparison
More often than not, it can be tough to envision the difference between sensor dimensions just by reading specifications. The pic here should give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the Tough-3000 and VH-410.
Plainly, each of these cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Olympus VH-410 to offer you more detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more aged Tough-3000 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
