Olympus TG-320 vs Ricoh WG-6 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, it can be tough to imagine the difference between sensor sizing purely by looking at specifications. The photograph here will offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the TG-320 and WG-6.
Plainly, the two cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but different MP. You should expect to see the Ricoh WG-6 to give you extra detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos more aggressively. The older TG-320 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
