Olympus TG-850 iHS vs Olympus TG-810 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, it can be difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor measurements purely by seeing a spec sheet. The photograph underneath will offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the TG-850 iHS and TG-810.
As you can see, both of these cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same MP. You can expect the Olympus TG-850 iHS to show more detail having its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots a little more aggressively. The younger TG-850 iHS will have a benefit in sensor innovation.
