FujiFilm S3200 vs Olympus SP-620 UZ Sensor Comparison

Generally, it is very tough to picture the difference between sensor sizes merely by reading through a spec sheet. The picture below might give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the S3200 and SP-620 UZ.

Clearly, both cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but different MP. You should anticipate the Olympus SP-620 UZ to resolve more detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos far more aggressively. The more aged S3200 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
