Olympus TG-610 vs Ricoh GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC Sensor Comparison

Usually, it can be hard to envision the gap between sensor dimensions just by reviewing a spec sheet. The pic here should give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the TG-610 and GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC.

As you can see, both of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The TG-610 using its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower DOF more difficult and the Olympus TG-610 will deliver extra detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos way more aggressively. The more modern TG-610 will have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
