Olympus TG-320 vs Olympus TG-2 iHS Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Generally, it can be hard to see the difference in sensor dimensions simply by researching technical specs. The picture here will offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the TG-320 and TG-2 iHS.
As you can tell, the 2 cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Olympus TG-320 to provide you with more detail due to its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics a little more aggressively. The more aged TG-320 will be behind in sensor innovation.
