Olympus TG-320 vs Panasonic TS5 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, it can be hard to visualise the gap in sensor measurements only by researching specifications. The photograph underneath will offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the TG-320 and TS5.
Plainly, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Panasonic TS5 to result in more detail due to its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics much more aggressively. The older TG-320 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
