Quite often, it can be difficult to see the contrast between sensor dimensions only by reviewing specifications. The pic here will give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the S2500HD and SZ-12.

To sum up, the two cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Olympus SZ-12 to offer you more detail due to its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs much more aggressively. The more aged S2500HD is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
