All in all, both of those cameras feature the identical sensor size but different MP. You should anticipate the Olympus TG-3 to offer more detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop images way more aggressively. The younger TG-3 provides an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
