Olympus TG-810 vs Olympus TG-4 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is difficult to see the difference in sensor sizes merely by seeing a spec sheet. The image underneath should give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the TG-810 and TG-4.

Clearly, both of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Olympus TG-4 to show greater detail due to its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics much more aggressively. The more aged TG-810 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
