Olympus TG-320 vs Sony WX350 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, its hard to envision the gap in sensor sizing only by checking out technical specs. The graphic here might give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the TG-320 and WX350.
As you have seen, both of those cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Sony WX350 to provide extra detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics more aggressively. The older TG-320 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
