Canon A2200 vs Olympus SH-1 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, its hard to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes purely by seeing a spec sheet. The picture here may give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the A2200 and SH-1.

As you can see, each of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the Olympus SH-1 to produce extra detail using its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more aged A2200 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
