Olympus TG-320 vs Sony A6600 Sensor Comparison

Clearly, both the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The TG-320 having a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF tougher and the Sony A6600 will give greater detail with its extra 10MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots a bit more aggressively. The older TG-320 is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
