Fujifilm S4200 vs Olympus SZ-30MR Sensor Comparison
In many cases, it can be tough to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing merely by looking through a spec sheet. The graphic underneath might offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm S4200 and SZ-30MR.
Clearly, both of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You can expect the Olympus SZ-30MR to provide you with greater detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The newer Fujifilm S4200 is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
