To sum up, both the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same megapixels. You can expect the Olympus VG-120 to resolve greater detail because of its extra 5 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs far more aggressively. The older EX-FS10 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
