Olympus TG-6 vs Sony S2000 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
In many cases, it is very hard to envision the difference in sensor dimensions purely by viewing specs. The image here might give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the TG-6 and S2000.
As you can plainly see, each of the cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You can anticipate the Olympus TG-6 to result in more detail because of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more recent TG-6 is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
