FujiFilm S1800 vs Olympus SP-810 UZ Sensor Comparison

Generally, it is tough to envision the gap between sensor sizes merely by looking at specifications. The pic underneath may provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the S1800 and SP-810 UZ.

To sum up, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Olympus SP-810 UZ to give you greater detail using its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged S1800 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
