Kodak Mini vs Olympus FE-3010 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, its hard to imagine the contrast between sensor sizes merely by reviewing specs. The image below should give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the Mini and FE-3010.

All in all, each of the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The Mini using its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field harder and the Olympus FE-3010 will offer you greater detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images way more aggressively. The more modern Mini should have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
