Olympus TG-320 vs Pentax K-1 II Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, it is very difficult to see the difference between sensor sizing merely by going over a spec sheet. The visual underneath may give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the TG-320 and K-1 II.
Clearly, the two cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The TG-320 featuring a tinier sensor will make shooting bokeh harder and the Pentax K-1 II will offer you greater detail utilizing its extra 22MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The older TG-320 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
