Olympus TG-4 vs Samsung WB210 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, it can be tough to see the contrast between sensor sizes only by looking at technical specs. The image here should provide you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the TG-4 and WB210.
As you have seen, both of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You can anticipate the Olympus TG-4 to give you greater detail having an extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The fresher TG-4 is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
