Olympus TG-610 vs Sony WX70 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, it is very difficult to envision the contrast in sensor sizes simply by checking out a spec sheet. The picture here should give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the TG-610 and WX70.
Clearly, each of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Sony WX70 to produce greater detail having an extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos far more aggressively. The more aged TG-610 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
