Olympus TG-610 vs Panasonic ZS60 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, its difficult to envision the gap in sensor measurements merely by checking out a spec sheet. The photograph here should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the TG-610 and ZS60.
Clearly, both the cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Panasonic ZS60 to provide greater detail utilizing its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop pics way more aggressively. The older TG-610 will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
