FujiFilm HS10 vs Olympus SP-810 UZ Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is very difficult to visualize the difference in sensor dimensions only by researching a spec sheet. The picture underneath may give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the HS10 and SP-810 UZ.

Clearly, the 2 cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but different MP. You should anticipate the Olympus SP-810 UZ to provide you with greater detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos far more aggressively. The more aged HS10 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
