Quite often, it can be tough to imagine the gap in sensor sizing merely by viewing a spec sheet. The visual below will help offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm S2000HD and SH-3.

Clearly, each of these cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but different resolution. You can expect to see the Olympus SH-3 to result in more detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop images more aggressively. The older Fujifilm S2000HD will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
