Olympus TG-810 vs Ricoh WG-4 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, it's hard to visualise the contrast between sensor sizing just by reviewing specs. The photograph underneath will help provide you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the TG-810 and WG-4.
All in all, each of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Ricoh WG-4 to offer you extra detail due to its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop images far more aggressively. The older TG-810 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
