Canon 10D vs Olympus E-330 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is very tough to envision the gap between sensor sizes purely by reviewing specifications. The picture here may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the 10D and E-330.

To sum up, both cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The 10D with its bigger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF easier and the Olympus E-330 will offer greater detail using its extra 1MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged 10D is going to be behind in sensor technology.
