Fujifilm S2000HD vs Olympus E-PL3 Sensor Comparison
Sometimes, it is hard to picture the gap between sensor measurements simply by reading through a spec sheet. The visual underneath should provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm S2000HD and E-PL3.
As you can see, the 2 cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm S2000HD having a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field harder and the Olympus E-PL3 will give you extra detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The older Fujifilm S2000HD is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
