Olympus TG-810 vs Sony TX10 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Typically, its hard to visualise the difference between sensor dimensions only by reading through specs. The pic below will give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the TG-810 and TX10.
All in all, both cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Sony TX10 to give more detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images much more aggressively.
