Olympus TG-630 iHS vs Panasonic G100 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, it is very tough to imagine the gap between sensor sizes only by reading technical specs. The picture here may give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the TG-630 iHS and G100.
As you have seen, each of these cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The TG-630 iHS using its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF more challenging and the Panasonic G100 will deliver greater detail because of its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures way more aggressively. The more aged TG-630 iHS is going to be behind in sensor tech.
