Olympus TG-6 vs Olympus VR-320 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, it is hard to see the difference in sensor sizes only by checking out specifications. The pic below may give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the TG-6 and VR-320.
Plainly, the 2 cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Olympus VR-320 to produce greater detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos way more aggressively. The fresher TG-6 is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
