Casio EX-H10 vs Olympus VR-340 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is tough to visualise the contrast in sensor measurements only by looking through a spec sheet. The visual below should offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-H10 and VR-340.

As you can see, the 2 cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You can anticipate the Olympus VR-340 to provide you with more detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop images far more aggressively. The older EX-H10 will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
