Fujifilm F500 EXR vs Olympus VG-160 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, it is very difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor measurements simply by viewing technical specs. The visual underneath should offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm F500 EXR and VG-160.
As you can tell, both the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm F500 EXR having a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF less difficult and the Fujifilm F500 EXR will render extra detail having an extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The older Fujifilm F500 EXR will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
