Olympus TG-810 vs Sigma fp Sensor Comparison

Usually, its hard to envision the gap between sensor sizing just by checking technical specs. The photograph below will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the TG-810 and fp.

As you can tell, each of the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The TG-810 due to its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF more challenging and the Sigma fp will resolve greater detail as a result of its extra 11MP. Greater resolution will let you crop pics far more aggressively. The older TG-810 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
