Olympus TG-320 vs Ricoh WG-30 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Quite often, it is hard to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions only by reading specifications. The image underneath may give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the TG-320 and WG-30.
Plainly, both cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Ricoh WG-30 to offer extra detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more aged TG-320 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
