Olympus TG-320 vs Olympus TG-610 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, it is very difficult to visualise the gap between sensor sizes just by checking specs. The image below should provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the TG-320 and TG-610.
All in all, both of those cameras provide the same sensor dimensions and the exact same resolution so you can expect similar quality of files though you might want to factor the age  of the products into consideration. The fresher TG-320 will have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
