Olympus TG-810 vs Panasonic SZ10 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, it's difficult to envision the gap between sensor dimensions only by checking specs. The image underneath will give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the TG-810 and SZ10.
All in all, the two cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Panasonic SZ10 to give you more detail because of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will help you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more aged TG-810 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
