Olympus TG-320 vs Sony RX100 II Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, it is tough to envision the difference between sensor dimensions just by looking at specifications. The picture underneath will help give you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the TG-320 and RX100 II.
Plainly, each of the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The TG-320 having a tinier sensor will make getting shallower DOF more difficult and the Sony RX100 II will give you extra detail because of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The more aged TG-320 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
