Olympus TG-320 vs Olympus TG-6 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Generally, it is difficult to visualise the difference between sensor measurements merely by going over a spec sheet. The photograph below may provide you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the TG-320 and TG-6.
As you can see, the two cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Olympus TG-320 to offer you extra detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos more aggressively. The older TG-320 is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
