Olympus TG-320 vs Sigma DP2s Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is tough to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes merely by researching specifications. The image here should give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the TG-320 and DP2s.

Plainly, both of those cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The TG-320 using its smaller sensor will make achieving bokeh harder and the Olympus TG-320 will result in extra detail because of its extra 9MP. Higher resolution will let you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more recent TG-320 is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
