Olympus TG-310 vs Sony W710 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, it's hard to visualise the gap in sensor measurements merely by seeing a spec sheet. The visual below will give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the TG-310 and W710.
As you can see, both of those cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Sony W710 to provide more detail with its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The older TG-310 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
