Panasonic TS3 vs Pentax WG-10 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, it is tough to visualize the contrast between sensor measurements simply by going over specs. The visual underneath might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the TS3 and WG-10.
All in all, the 2 cameras feature the identical sensor size but different megapixels. You should anticipate the Pentax WG-10 to deliver more detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics way more aggressively. The older TS3 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
