Olympus TG-810 vs Samsung NX11 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is tough to visualise the gap in sensor measurements merely by checking out specifications. The photograph underneath may provide you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the TG-810 and NX11.

Plainly, both cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The TG-810 due to its smaller sensor will make shooting shallower DOF more difficult and the Samsung NX11 will show greater detail as a result of its extra 1 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The younger TG-810 will have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
