Fujifilm S4200 vs Olympus SH-1 Sensor Comparison
Often, its hard to visualise the difference in sensor measurements only by seeing specs. The visual here may give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm S4200 and SH-1.
As you can plainly see, each of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Olympus SH-1 to show more detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images a little more aggressively. The older Fujifilm S4200 will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
