Canon 400D vs Olympus E-620 Sensor Comparison

Normally, its difficult to envision the gap between sensor dimensions simply by looking at a spec sheet. The picture here should give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the 400D and E-620.

As you can see, each of these cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The 400D because of its bigger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Olympus E-620 will resolve extra detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs way more aggressively. The more aged 400D is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
