As you can see, each of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Olympus SZ-15 to produce greater detail having its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm S2000HD will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
