Fujifilm F550 EXR vs Olympus FE-5010 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Sometimes, it's tough to picture the gap in sensor measurements merely by seeing specs. The visual here may offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm F550 EXR and FE-5010.
All in all, the two cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm F550 EXR having a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF less difficult and the Fujifilm F550 EXR will produce extra detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots a little more aggressively. The fresher Fujifilm F550 EXR should have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
