Fujifilm Z30 vs Olympus FE-47 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is tough to envision the difference in sensor sizing purely by looking through a spec sheet. The photograph below may provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm Z30 and FE-47.

Clearly, both cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Olympus FE-47 to result in more detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics way more aggressively. The older Fujifilm Z30 will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
