Olympus TG-810 vs Ricoh WG-6 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, it is very tough to imagine the gap between sensor measurements just by going over technical specs. The graphic below should give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the TG-810 and WG-6.
As you can tell, the two cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different resolution. You should expect to see the Ricoh WG-6 to offer more detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The older TG-810 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
