Canon A2200 vs Olympus 8000 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it's hard to envision the gap in sensor dimensions purely by seeing a spec sheet. The image underneath should provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the A2200 and 8000.

Clearly, the 2 cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Canon A2200 to produce extra detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images a little more aggressively. The more modern A2200 will have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
