Olympus TG-810 vs Olympus TG-5 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Often, it is very difficult to envision the difference in sensor sizing purely by checking out specifications. The photograph underneath should give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the TG-810 and TG-5.
To sum up, both of those cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You can anticipate the Olympus TG-810 to provide more detail with its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics more aggressively. The older TG-810 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
