Casio EX-FC150 vs Olympus E-M1 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
In many cases, its difficult to visualize the gap between sensor measurements merely by looking at a spec sheet. The graphic below may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-FC150 and E-M1.
As you can see, each of the cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The EX-FC150 with its tinier sensor is going to make shooting bokeh trickier and the Olympus E-M1 will resolve extra detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics much more aggressively. The older EX-FC150 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
