Olympus TG-320 vs Olympus VR-340 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
In many cases, it can be tough to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions only by researching technical specs. The pic below will help provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the TG-320 and VR-340.
As you can tell, both cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Olympus VR-340 to result in more detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots a bit more aggressively.
