Olympus TG-630 iHS vs Samsung NX200 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Generally, it is very hard to visualize the difference between sensor sizes only by reading technical specs. The pic here will help provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the TG-630 iHS and NX200.
As you can tell, both the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The TG-630 iHS with its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF tougher and the Samsung NX200 will offer you extra detail using its extra 8MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs far more aggressively. The fresher TG-630 iHS should have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
