Fujifilm SL1000 vs Olympus SP-590 UZ Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Quite often, it is very hard to picture the gap in sensor measurements only by going through technical specs. The visual underneath will give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm SL1000 and SP-590 UZ.
As you have seen, each of the cameras feature the identical sensor size but different megapixels. You should expect to see the Fujifilm SL1000 to show more detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop photos way more aggressively. The newer Fujifilm SL1000 should have a benefit in sensor technology.
