Olympus TG-320 vs Sony WX80 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, it is very tough to see the difference between sensor sizing simply by reading a spec sheet. The photograph here will help offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the TG-320 and WX80.
Clearly, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You can anticipate the Sony WX80 to offer you greater detail due to its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images much more aggressively. The older TG-320 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
