Fujifilm S4500 vs Olympus SZ-16 iHS Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, its difficult to see the difference in sensor sizes simply by going through technical specs. The picture underneath may give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm S4500 and SZ-16 iHS.
As you can tell, each of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Olympus SZ-16 iHS to show greater detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics much more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm S4500 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
