Olympus TG-5 vs Panasonic TS10 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, it's hard to see the contrast between sensor sizes simply by going over specs. The picture here will help provide you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the TG-5 and TS10.
As you can plainly see, each of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Panasonic TS10 to offer you extra detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The newer TG-5 will have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
