Canon 30D vs Olympus VH-410 Sensor Comparison
Generally, it is very difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor measurements merely by looking at technical specs. The visual below will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 30D and VH-410.
As you have seen, both of the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 30D with its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Olympus VH-410 will give you more detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images far more aggressively. The older 30D is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
