Olympus TG-310 vs Samsung EX2F Sensor Comparison
Usually, it is tough to visualize the gap between sensor sizes only by reading specifications. The image here should offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the TG-310 and EX2F.
To sum up, both of those cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The TG-310 due to its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF tougher and the Olympus TG-310 will offer extra detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more aged TG-310 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
