Canon SD4500 IS vs Olympus FE-5010 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
In many cases, it's difficult to see the gap in sensor measurements simply by viewing specs. The photograph here might offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the SD4500 IS and FE-5010.
As you can plainly see, both of these cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Olympus FE-5010 to result in extra detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop pics more aggressively. The younger SD4500 IS will have an advantage in sensor tech.
