Olympus TG-320 vs Sony W810 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is tough to visualise the contrast in sensor dimensions just by viewing a spec sheet. The picture underneath may provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the TG-320 and W810.

Clearly, both cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Sony W810 to provide you with more detail with its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos more aggressively. The more aged TG-320 will be behind in sensor tech.
