Olympus 8010 vs Olympus TG-850 iHS Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, its tough to visualize the difference between sensor dimensions simply by checking technical specs. The image underneath might provide you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 8010 and TG-850 iHS.
As you can tell, the 2 cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit different MP. You should count on the Olympus TG-850 iHS to give extra detail using its extra 3 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots a little more aggressively. The more aged 8010 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
