Olympus TG-310 vs Panasonic SZ10 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Generally, it can be hard to visualise the gap in sensor sizes just by looking through technical specs. The pic here may offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the TG-310 and SZ10.
As you can tell, both the cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Panasonic SZ10 to result in greater detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs way more aggressively. The more aged TG-310 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
