Olympus 8010 vs Olympus TG-610 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, its tough to see the contrast in sensor dimensions simply by checking out technical specs. The image below may offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the 8010 and TG-610.
As you can tell, both of the cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the Olympus TG-610 to provide more detail as a result of its extra 1MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs way more aggressively. The more aged 8010 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
