Canon 5DS vs Olympus E-330 Sensor Comparison
Typically, it's hard to see the gap in sensor dimensions just by looking through technical specs. The picture here might offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the 5DS and E-330.
As you have seen, the 2 cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The 5DS featuring a bigger sensor will make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Canon 5DS will render more detail as a result of its extra 44 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots far more aggressively. The fresher 5DS is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
