FujiFilm XP10 vs Olympus SH-50 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is difficult to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions merely by going over a spec sheet. The image underneath will help give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the XP10 and SH-50.

Clearly, both of those cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Olympus SH-50 to offer greater detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures much more aggressively. The more aged XP10 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
