Olympus TG-6 vs Samsung GX-10 Sensor Comparison
Normally, it is very tough to see the contrast between sensor sizing merely by checking a spec sheet. The photograph here will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the TG-6 and GX-10.
Clearly, both of these cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The TG-6 because of its tinier sensor will make getting shallower DOF harder and the Olympus TG-6 will give greater detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots more aggressively. The newer TG-6 is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
