Olympus TG-310 vs Sony ZV-1 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, its difficult to imagine the contrast between sensor sizing simply by going over specs. The visual below will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the TG-310 and ZV-1.
All in all, each of the cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The TG-310 using its tinier sensor is going to make achieving bokeh tougher and the Sony ZV-1 will offer you greater detail with its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics much more aggressively. The older TG-310 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
