Olympus TG-310 vs Panasonic TS5 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
In many cases, it's difficult to envision the gap between sensor dimensions just by checking a spec sheet. The picture here might provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the TG-310 and TS5.
Clearly, the two cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Panasonic TS5 to resolve extra detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop photos much more aggressively. The more aged TG-310 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
