Olympus 6020 vs Olympus TG-4 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Generally, it is difficult to imagine the gap in sensor sizes simply by viewing specs. The image underneath might offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the 6020 and TG-4.
All in all, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different MP. You can anticipate the Olympus TG-4 to provide you with extra detail utilizing its extra 3MP. Greater resolution will let you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged 6020 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
