Fujifilm S4200 vs Olympus SH-2 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, its tough to visualize the difference in sensor sizes purely by seeing specs. The picture here may provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm S4200 and SH-2.
As you can plainly see, each of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but different resolution. You can expect to see the Olympus SH-2 to produce extra detail having its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will let you crop photos more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm S4200 will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
