Olympus TG-610 vs Panasonic 3D1 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, it is hard to visualize the difference between sensor measurements purely by checking specs. The visual here might give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the TG-610 and 3D1.
As you can plainly see, both of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different megapixels. You can count on the Olympus TG-610 to resolve extra detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The older TG-610 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
