Fujifilm XP30 vs Olympus VH-515 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, it is very difficult to imagine the difference between sensor sizing only by reviewing a spec sheet. The visual here will offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm XP30 and VH-515.
Clearly, both the cameras feature the identical sensor size but different resolution. You can anticipate the Fujifilm XP30 to offer greater detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop images way more aggressively. The older Fujifilm XP30 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
