Canon A4000 IS vs Olympus VR-330 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, its difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor measurements merely by seeing a spec sheet. The photograph here will offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the A4000 IS and VR-330.
As you can see, each of the cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit different megapixels. You should count on the Canon A4000 IS to show extra detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The younger A4000 IS should have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
