Olympus TG-320 vs Sony W730 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Often, it's difficult to picture the gap between sensor measurements just by reviewing a spec sheet. The graphic below should offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the TG-320 and W730.
Clearly, both of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different resolution. You can expect the Sony W730 to deliver greater detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The older TG-320 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
