Olympus TG-310 vs Sony H90 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, it is very tough to visualise the gap in sensor sizing simply by looking through technical specs. The graphic here will help give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the TG-310 and H90.
As you have seen, each of these cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You can anticipate the Sony H90 to result in greater detail utilizing its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The older TG-310 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
