Fujifilm Real 3D W3 vs Olympus VH-515 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Quite often, it's difficult to see the gap in sensor measurements purely by researching a spec sheet. The photograph below will help give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm Real 3D W3 and VH-515.
As you can see, the 2 cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Olympus VH-515 to render greater detail due to its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs far more aggressively. The older Fujifilm Real 3D W3 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
