Olympus TG-310 vs Samsung WB800F Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it can be hard to visualise the difference between sensor measurements purely by looking at specifications. The photograph here should offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the TG-310 and WB800F.

Plainly, each of these cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Samsung WB800F to give extra detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The older TG-310 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
