FujiFilm S1800 vs Olympus SP-100 Sensor Comparison
Quite often, it can be hard to envision the difference between sensor sizing only by looking at specifications. The graphic here may provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the S1800 and SP-100.
To sum up, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You can expect the Olympus SP-100 to resolve more detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older S1800 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
