Fujifilm XP150 vs Olympus XZ-1 Sensor Comparison

Clearly, both cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm XP150 having a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field trickier and the Fujifilm XP150 will provide extra detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm XP150 should have an advantage in sensor technology.
