Fujifilm XP30 vs Olympus SZ-30MR Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Quite often, it's tough to see the contrast in sensor sizes purely by viewing a spec sheet. The pic below may give you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm XP30 and SZ-30MR.
Clearly, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You can anticipate the Olympus SZ-30MR to result in greater detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop images much more aggressively.
