Casio EX-Z16 vs Olympus 5010 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is very hard to envision the contrast between sensor dimensions purely by checking a spec sheet. The pic here will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-Z16 and 5010.

As you can see, the 2 cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Olympus 5010 to resolve extra detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs far more aggressively. The younger EX-Z16 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
