Olympus TG-6 vs Samsung WB150F Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Typically, it can be hard to picture the gap between sensor dimensions only by reading specs. The picture here will offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the TG-6 and WB150F.
As you can plainly see, both of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but different resolution. You should expect to see the Samsung WB150F to deliver more detail due to its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will let you crop images far more aggressively. The fresher TG-6 provides an edge in sensor technology.
