Canon S200 vs Olympus FE-4000 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it's tough to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing merely by checking out specs. The graphic underneath may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the S200 and FE-4000.

All in all, both the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The S200 using its larger sensor will make shooting bokeh less difficult and the Olympus FE-4000 will show extra detail because of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images a bit more aggressively. The younger S200 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
