Fujifilm X10 vs Olympus SH-1 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, its hard to see the gap in sensor dimensions purely by checking out technical specs. The picture underneath may provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X10 and SH-1.

As you have seen, each of the cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X10 using its larger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF simpler and the Olympus SH-1 will provide more detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos much more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm X10 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
