Olympus TG-320 vs Panasonic TS6 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Oftentimes, it is very tough to imagine the difference in sensor sizes merely by researching specifications. The picture here will help offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the TG-320 and TS6.
Plainly, the two cameras feature the identical sensor size but different resolution. You can expect to see the Panasonic TS6 to render more detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos way more aggressively. The more aged TG-320 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
