Olympus TG-4 vs Sony S2000 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, its difficult to envision the gap in sensor dimensions purely by seeing a spec sheet. The picture below will give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the TG-4 and S2000.
Clearly, both of these cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Olympus TG-4 to show more detail due to its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos more aggressively. The younger TG-4 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
