Fujifilm X20 vs Olympus E-450 Sensor Comparison

All in all, the two cameras have different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X20 using its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Fujifilm X20 will show greater detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm X20 should have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
