Olympus 8010 vs Olympus TG-310 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, it can be tough to visualise the contrast in sensor dimensions just by seeing technical specs. The image below may offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the 8010 and TG-310.
As you have seen, both the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Olympus TG-310 to show extra detail using its extra 1MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images far more aggressively. The more aged 8010 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
