To sum up, both of those cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Olympus 8000 to offer you greater detail with its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop images much more aggressively. The more modern ELPH 530 HS is going to have a benefit in sensor tech.
