Olympus TG-820 iHS vs Panasonic TS10 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Quite often, it's tough to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements simply by checking a spec sheet. The photograph below should offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the TG-820 iHS and TS10.
Clearly, both the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Panasonic TS10 to give you more detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop images far more aggressively. The more modern TG-820 iHS will have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
