Casio EX-S5 vs Olympus SP-810 UZ Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is very tough to visualise the contrast in sensor dimensions only by looking through specs. The pic here may give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-S5 and SP-810 UZ.

As you can plainly see, each of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You can count on the Olympus SP-810 UZ to render greater detail due to its extra 5MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more aged EX-S5 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
