Olympus TG-810 vs Panasonic GF1

Below, we are contrasting the Olympus TG-810 and Panasonic GF1, one is a Waterproof and the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by rivals Olympus and Panasonic. The image resolution of the TG-810 (14MP) and the GF1 (12MP) is fairly similar but the TG-810 (1/2.3") and GF1 (Four Thirds) come with different sensor measurements.

Typically, it's difficult to picture the contrast between sensor sizes just by going over a spec sheet. The image here might offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the TG-810 and GF1.

As you can see, both of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The TG-810 because of its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more challenging and the Olympus TG-810 will offer more detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more modern TG-810 should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
