As you have seen, each of these cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Olympus VR-340 to render extra detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos way more aggressively. The older D10 will be behind in sensor innovation.
