FujiFilm HS10 vs Olympus SP-820UZ Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, it can be difficult to see the contrast between sensor sizes just by reviewing a spec sheet. The picture here will help give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the HS10 and SP-820UZ.
Clearly, both of those cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You can count on the Olympus SP-820UZ to offer extra detail having its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will help you crop photographs more aggressively. The more aged HS10 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
