Olympus TG-320 vs Ricoh G900 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, it's difficult to picture the gap in sensor measurements simply by going through technical specs. The visual below will give you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the TG-320 and G900.
As you have seen, the two cameras come with the identical sensor size but different MP. You can anticipate the Ricoh G900 to produce extra detail having its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The older TG-320 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
