Panasonic TS5 has a
16.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.08 x 4.56 mm ) sized CMOS sensor . On the other hand, Olympus SP-610UZ has a
14.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CCD sensor and features TruePic III processor.
Below you can see the TS5 and SP-610UZ sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Panasonic TS5 and Olympus SP-610UZ Cameras
Panasonic TS5 and Olympus SP-610UZ have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the same focal length and aperture.
Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Panasonic TS5
or the
Olympus SP-610UZ ,
including hyperfocal distance.
