Canon 350D vs Olympus E-330 Sensor Comparison

As you can tell, both of these cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The 350D with its bigger sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Canon 350D will give you extra detail using its extra 1MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The more aged 350D is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
