Olympus TG-320 vs Ricoh WG-30W Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Sometimes, it's difficult to envision the gap in sensor sizing just by looking through technical specs. The visual underneath will help give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the TG-320 and WG-30W.
As you have seen, both of those cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Ricoh WG-30W to render more detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images much more aggressively. The older TG-320 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
