Olympus TG-4 vs Pentax RZ10 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Generally, it is hard to envision the gap in sensor dimensions purely by going through a spec sheet. The pic here may give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the TG-4 and RZ10.
Clearly, each of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Olympus TG-4 to provide extra detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more recent TG-4 is going to have an advantage in sensor tech.
