Olympus TG-6 vs Panasonic FH20 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, its tough to imagine the contrast between sensor sizes only by reviewing technical specs. The picture here may provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the TG-6 and FH20.
As you can tell, the 2 cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but different MP. You can anticipate the Panasonic FH20 to deliver extra detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos a little more aggressively. The younger TG-6 provides a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
