As you can plainly see, both of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Olympus SZ-31MR iHS to provide you with more detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm Real 3D W3 will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
