Olympus Tough-3000 vs Sony RX1R Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, it is tough to imagine the contrast in sensor measurements simply by seeing a spec sheet. The visual underneath should offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the Tough-3000 and RX1R.
As you can see, each of the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Tough-3000 because of its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF more challenging and the Sony RX1R will show greater detail having its extra 12MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop images far more aggressively. The older Tough-3000 will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
