Olympus TG-810 vs Ricoh CX4 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Sometimes, it can be hard to envision the gap in sensor sizing purely by seeing a spec sheet. The visual underneath may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the TG-810 and CX4.
Clearly, both the cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Olympus TG-810 to produce greater detail having its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more recent TG-810 will have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
