Olympus TG-310 vs Panasonic 3D1 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, it's tough to picture the contrast between sensor measurements simply by checking a spec sheet. The photograph here should offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the TG-310 and 3D1.
As you can see, each of the cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit different MP. You can expect the Olympus TG-310 to resolve extra detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The older TG-310 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
