Canon ELPH 330 HS vs Olympus E-M10 II Sensor Comparison

Often, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor sizes only by looking at technical specs. The image below will help give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the ELPH 330 HS and E-M10 II.

As you can tell, both of those cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The ELPH 330 HS featuring a tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF tougher and the Olympus E-M10 II will give extra detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop images a bit more aggressively. The more aged ELPH 330 HS is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
